\nA “road closed” \/ detour sign was in place for three months as the Eichlerville bridge was worked on in 2015.<\/em><\/p>\n

Since I\u2019ve been writing here on the Huletts Current, I\u2019ve gotten in the habit of recapping at the end of the year what I consider to be the top news story of Huletts Landing from the past year. This is sometimes obvious, sometimes it is not.<\/p>\n

This year, the biggest \u201cstory,\u201d in my opinion, was the rebuilding of the “Eichlerville” bridge which took a number of months, and the repaving of County Route 6. In other words, the bridge and roads took center stage in 2015. I realized I took the most pictures of those events during 2015, many of which I post here. While many things happened in Huletts during 2015, the work on the bridge and roads was indeed significant.<\/p>\n

So for 2015, I\u2019ve selected the the rebuilding of the “Eichlerville” bridge, and the repaving of County Route 6 (which were actually two different events but tremendously significant to travel throughout the community) as the: Top News Story of Huletts for 2015<\/em>.<\/p>\n


\nThe abutments from the “old” bridge were in rough shape after over 100 years of use.<\/em><\/p>\n


\nThe new abutments were brought in individually and joined on site.<\/em><\/p>\n


\nGreat care was taken to protect the environment as the new bridge was constructed. <\/em><\/p>\n


\nWork progressed slowly but methodically.<\/em><\/p>\n


\nThe cross pieces were brought in near the end.<\/em><\/p>\n


\nFinally, the bridge had to be joined to the existing private road.<\/em><\/p>\n


\nThe “new” Eichlerville bridge as it looked upon completion.<\/em><\/p>\n


\nAlso in 2015, Washington County repaved County Route 6 right past the Huletts Post Office.<\/em><\/p>\n


\nThis work was significant and also much needed.<\/em><\/p>\n
