"Bids for the planned overhaul of the Rondout Creek Bridge will be sought in June, and the state Department of Transportation expects to award contracts for the work in August, the office of state Assemblyman Kevin Cahill said this week... The rehabilitation of the suspension bridge, which carries Wurts Street over the creek between Kingston and Port Ewen, could cost as much as $37 million, Cahill said previously. The state will pay for the project, which is expected to begin this fall."
