Assemblyman Fred W. Thiele, Jr. (I, D, WF, WE - Sag Harbor) announced that the New York State Department of Transportation (DOT) is planning to rehabilitate deficient elements of two bridges on NYS Route 27 in Brookhaven. The areas designated to be worked on are the eastbound and westbound collector-distributor roads, which are short segments of road, over County Road 51. Repairs include joint replacement, bearing replacement, substructure concrete repairs and steel girder repairs/painting.

The DOT has entered the final design phase of its development, and it will progress to a design-bid-build contract. The project is tentatively scheduled to begin this fall.
