12/13/2019 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

OSSINING — Residents of Ossining have cause to celebrate as the Broadway Bridge is now open.

The 157-year-old bridge has been under construction as a result of New York State DOT having issued a “yellow flag” on the site for being structurally compromised. The Village was able to restore the visual architectural aesthetic of the bridge by using reclaimed bricks and historic mortar. Decorative lighting complements the Downtown fixtures. In the coming weeks the historically appropriate decorative railings will be installed.

The Village Board will be hosting a ribbon-cutting in January of 2020 and looks forward to celebrating with the community.

About the Village of Ossining

On April 2, 1813, the Village of Ossining became the first incorporated village in Westchester County to be state-chartered. Today, Ossining is a culturally diverse, affordable place to live, rich in both history and natural beauty. Approximately 25,000 people reside in the three and one half square miles of this historic Village on the Hudson River, which boasts extensive shopping, recreational programs, educational enrichment opportunities, and excellent municipal services. Ossining’s role in New York’s heritage has been recognized by its inclusion, as one of only 14 areas, in an Urban Cultural Park System designed to attract visitors to the State.
