FROM STEUBEN CO SPOKESMAN EDDIE VANSTINE: Eric Rose, Commissioner of the Steuben County Department of Public Works, has announced the upcoming closure of a county bridge located on County Route 21 (Canisteo-Rathbone Road) in the Town of Canisteo. Beginning March 30, 2026, the bridge spanning Spaulding Hollow—situated between County Route 30 and State Route 36—will be closed to all through traffic for approximately 12 weeks. The closure is necessary to facilitate a full bridge reconstruction project. The structure, identified as Bridge No. 21-01 (BIN 3334680), will undergo significant upgrades, including the installation of new concrete abutments and concrete deck beams, ensuring long-term safety and durability for residents and travelers. An on-site detour will be clearly marked to help guide motorists safely around the construction area.
“We appreciate the public’s patience and cooperation as we complete this important infrastructure improvement project,” said Commissioner Rose. “These upgrades are essential to maintaining safe and reliable transportation routes throughout Steuben County.”
For additional information, residents are encouraged to contact the Steuben County Department of Public Works.
