The state Department of Transportation reports the new bridges are single span, multigirder and include new foundations, reinforced steel supports and concrete decks.

A section of Route 119 beneath the new bridges was also repaved and made more pedestrian-friendly.

“Motorists in my district can now enjoy a smoother, safer ride over the Sprain Brook Parkway in Elmsford,” state Sen. Andrea Stewart-Cousins said in a statement. “The completion of this NY Works project is part of our commitment to invest in infrastructure for the future of our state. Another plus is that in order to do so, some 500 people were employed, providing a boost to the local economy.”
