JAMESTOWN – The replacement of the Harrison Street Bridge over the Chadakoin River in the City of Jamestown continues to progress towards opening by the end of this year.
However, the original timeline of a November completion is no longer projected and instead, officials say it should be done by the end of December. That is mostly due to difficulties with soil conditions recently encountered, which forced additional construction activities to take place in order to properly construct the replacement bridge foundations.
The bridge is being replaced by the Chautauqua County Department of Public Facilities and director Brad Brentley said the contractor is prepared to work in the colder weather to re-open the bridge, however extreme winter weather may impact this revised schedule.
