Rondout Creek bridge replacement in High Falls means six-month detours for Rt. 213

Kingston’s Broadway closing Tuesday night

For the next six months, motorists traveling between Rosendale and Stone Ridge will need to use alternate routes to Route 213 where it passes through High Falls. Effective 2 p.m. on Tuesday, January 3, the New York State Department of Transportation (COT) began dismantling the steel girder bridge spanning the Rondout Creek just upstream from the hamlet’s eponymous waterfall. Replacement of the 160-foot span, originally built in 1931, is expected to take six months, according to the official website of the office of governor Andrew Cuomo.

Located on Route 213 between Berme Road and Lucas Turnpike, the unnamed bridge is scheduled to remain closed until June 30. Traffic headed to or from points southwest, such as Accord and Ellenville, will be detoured onto Berme Road. Traffic northbound onto Lucas Avenue, to and from Hurley and Kingston, will be rerouted onto Route 213 further east via Sawdust Avenue (County Route 26). Detour signs will be posted, say DOT officials, but commuting delays should be anticipated.

According to Marbletown’s town supervisor, Michael Warren, the 85-year-old bridge, built in the through-truss style on wooden pilings that have severely deteriorated, will be completely replaced. The new structure will be significantly wider, with no overhead superstructure and a new sidewalk, affording motorists and pedestrians alike a clearer view of the scenic falls.

Frances Marion Platt

Frances Marion Platt has been a feature writer (and copyeditor) for Ulster Publishing since 1994, under both her own name and the nom de plume Zhemyna Jurate. Her reporting beats include Gardiner and Rosendale, the arts and a bit of local history. In 2011 she took up Syd M’s mantle as film reviewer for Alm@nac Weekly, and she hopes to return to doing more of that as HV1 recovers from the shock of COVID-19. A Queens native, Platt moved to New Paltz in 1971 to earn a BA in English and minor in Linguistics at SUNY. Her first writing/editing gig was with the Ulster County Artist magazine. In the 1980s she was assistant editor of The Independent Film and Video Monthly for five years, attended Heartwood Owner/Builder School, designed and built a timberframe house in Gardiner. Her son Evan Pallor was born in 1995. Alternating with her journalism career, she spent many years doing development work – mainly grantwriting – for a variety of not-for-profit organizations, including six years at Scenic Hudson. She currently lives in Kingston.
