Steuben County Department of Public Works Commissioner Eric Rose has announced that the bridge on County Route 74 (Prattsburgh–Pulteney Road) over Five Mile Creek, located between County Route 77 and Flynn Road in the Town of Prattsburgh, will be closed to all through traffic beginning March 30, 2026.
The closure is necessary to allow for a full bridge reconstruction. The structure, Bridge No. 74-02 (BIN 3333970), will be rebuilt with new concrete abutments and concrete deck beams to improve the safety and longevity of the crossing.
The project is expected to take approximately 10 weeks to complete, depending on weather and construction conditions.
Motorists should note that there will NOT be an on-site detour, and drivers are encouraged to plan alternate routes accordingly during the construction period.
Steuben County officials appreciate the public’s patience and cooperation as this important infrastructure improvement is completed.
