New Milford Public Works crews were able to make emergency repairs to Cherniske Road bridge in just a few hours. A metal plate was put down yesterday and the detour cleared. The one lane bridge is scheduled for reconstruction. Mayor Pete Bass says it was originally slated to become a two lane structure. But neighbors said they would prefer to continue to have it be a one lane structure. He says this would slow traffic, and help avoid large trucks from making a detour and going to surrounding towns.
