Newburgh-Beacon Bridge second span aims by 1976 start
DOT commissioner Raymond T. Schuler told Greater Newburgh Chamber members that federal funding approval and state priority will allow construction on a three lane second span of the Newburgh Beacon Bridge to begin before 1976. He outlined a 65 to 75 million dollar project with 90 percent federal aid and 10 percent NYS Bridge Authority share, plus potential bicycle lanes and tolls until debt is paid. Public hearings would start mid 1974 with contracts in 1975 and completion by late 1979 or early 1980.
