Please be advised that as a part of the Columbia County Department of Public Works efforts to replace and/or rehabilitate its aging infrastructure, construction of the replacement of a Large Culvert, carrying Columbia County Rte. 7 over a tributary to the Roeliff Jansen Kill, is scheduled to begin the first week of May 2025.  Posting of the detour will take place and the bridge is expected to close on or about May 5, 2025 and construction should be complete in September-October 2025.  This culvert is located in the Town of Gallatin at the intersection of County Road 7 and Tinker Hill Road, near the Gallatin Town Hall

 In order to replace this structure, we will need to close the culvert and Co. Rte. 7 at the bridge approaches, with all Co. Rte. 7 traffic being re-routed temporarily on an off-site detour.  The posted off-site detour will traverse Co. Rte. 7, County Routes 11 & 8, and NYS Route 82 and will be utilized for the estimated 4-5 month duration of this bridge replacement project.
