Brewster bridge rehabilitation gets federal funding

A $2 million grant has been awarded to the Town of Southeast to repair a dilapidated footbridge.  The 100-year old Morningthorpe Avenue Pedestrian Bridge had been closed to vehicles in 2007 and closed to pedestrians last spring. 

 

Putnam County Executive MaryEllen Odell says the closure disrupted commuters ability to easily reach the Brewster Metro North Station from a nearby parking area.  She says the project is a perfect fit for the County's plans to revitalize downtown Main Street Brewster. 

 

The bridge was once considered the worst in the lower Hudson Valley. 

 

The bridge also connects pedestrians to village parks, a bikeway and the Riverwalk.  All of those are part of Brewster's Master Plan for Economic Development.
