APA approves variance for bridge over Moose River
The Adirondack Park Agency approved the Town of Webb’s variance application to install a non-motorized pedestrian/bicycle/cross country ski bridge over the Middle Branch of the Moose River at its regular monthly meeting held on Thursday, July 12th.
The approval will allow for the completion of Phase II of the TOBIE Trail Project, according to Town Supervisor Ted Riehle who attended the meeting with Webb Codes Enforcement Officer Andy Getty.
The proposed bridge is 120 feet long and 12 feet wide and will be built on the existing railroad bed utilizing the two existing abutments. The bridge will connect Hemlock Street in Thendara to Railroad Ave. in Old Forge.
“It was an exciting approval to assure the next step towards the completion of the TOBIE Phase II Project,” said Supervisor Riehle.
