6 Bridges in Town of Hamilton Called 'Deficient'

Six bridges in the Town of Hamilton -- all owned by Madison County -- do not meet the state's definition of  being in "good condition".

A recent story in The Post-Standard cited New York State Department of Transportation data that showed there are 129 bridges in the region that the state considers "structurally deficient".

Nearby, there are:

  • two more bridges considered "deficient" in the Town of Eaton;
  • seven in the Town of Lebanon;
  • and two in the Town of Brookfield.

The state Department of Transportation rates every bridge it inspects on a scale of one to seven, with one being the lowest rating. To be considered "deficient", a bridge must have a rating below five.

The location of bridges in the Town of Hamilton the state rated "deficient include:

  • the bridge on County Rte. 89 -- Pooleville Road -- rated 4.97;
  • the bridge on County Rte. 88 -- Willey Road -- rated 4.83
  • the bridge on Mill Street rated 4.78
  • the bridge on Green Road rated 4.60;
  • the bridge on County Route 95 South -- Hamilton Road -- rated 4.53;
  • and the bridge on Larkin Road (in photo) rated 4.27.

Other bridges in the Town of Hamilton considered to be in "good condition" and their ratings are:

  • the bridge on Chappel Road, 5.20
  • the bridge on Cranston Road, 6.64
  • the bridge on Earlville Road, 5.63
  • the bridge on Hamilton Road, 6.67
  • the bridge on Wickwire Road, 6.66
