Major construction has wrapped on a project to reconstruct the bridge carrying U.S. Route 1 over the Mamaroneck River in Westchester County, Gov. Kathy Hochul's Office announced Friday. 

The $115 million project aims to enhance safety and resiliency along the route for those traveling through the town of Mamaroneck.

“Whether it’s historic blizzards or record-shattering rain events, the impacts of climate change are being felt all across New York and we must do all we can to harden our infrastructure against this growing threat,” Hochul said in a statement. “The reconstruction of the Route 1 bridge in Mamaroneck is the final piece of a transformative project that will keep travelers safe and help keep some of the busiest roads in the Lower Hudson Valley open and functioning regardless of the challenges that Mother Nature throws at us.”

Officials say the 129-year-old stone arch bridge was effectively rebuilt from the ground up, with new structural supports added in hopes of meeting the effects of flooding and other severe weather impacts.

“I commend Governor Kathy Hochul for her leadership and vision for the U.S. Route 1 Bridge over the Mamaroneck River, which was a long-awaited project to repair a vital travel route for drivers in Westchester County," Westchester County Executive George Latimer said in a statement. "The new bridge consists of a more durable structure to enhance motorist safety, and has been widened to allow for pedestrian walkways creating easier access to the community. We believe very strongly in fixing our bridges, roadways and other critical infrastructure across the County, and this new bridge will serve as a real improvement to both commuter and pedestrian traffic alike.”
