About Boiceville Bridge
The Boiceville Bridge was built during the original construction of the Ashokan Reservoir by Harrison & Burton Company of New York City and was finished in 1913. 1 2
Work to replace the Boiceville Bridge began in November 2021 and it is expected to be finished in 2025. 1 2 The $33 million project involves building a new 384-foot-long bridge atop two new piers, the demolition of the original structure, replacing an overpass over a railroad with a 43-foot-long structure, constructing a new intersection between NY Route 28A and NY Route 28, and realigning approximately a half-mile of NY Route 28A to eliminate a severe S-curve. It also involves upgrading the Boiceville Bridge Trailhead to include an additional 10 parking spaces, adding a walking and biking path on the new bridge over Esopus Creek, and extending that path into Boiceville to provide a seamless connection between the rail trail and the community.
