Van Zandt Hollow Bridge
- Project Description: A New York State Department of Transportation biennial bridge inspection in May 2009 brought about a red flag for the Van Zandt Hollow Bridge over Glen Creek in the Town of Dix, Schuyler County due to cracked and deflected longitudinal deck boards. The existing six-span timber bridge was built in 1977 on this two-lane local road, and was posted as having a fifteen-ton weight limit in 1994. County officials were faced with the prospect of having to close the bridge during racing season when thousands of race fans visit nearby Watkins Glen International racetrack. The single-span replacement bridge improves the hydraulics at the site and decreases debris accumulation that was a problem with the existing bridge. Appropriately sized rip-rap protection also helps prevent scouring of the existing rock.
- Completion Date: 2010
- Project Cost: $575,000
