How to rehab the Hudson Valley’s first suspension bridge

Be virtually transported to important Roebling historic sites! Join us to hear from engineer Blaise Blabac, who is involved in preserving a Roebling suspension bridge in Kingston, NY. The Kingston-Port Ewen bridge (also known as the Wurts Street Bridge) closed in September 2020 due to it's condition and after an extensive rehabilitation project will reopen in October 2023. Blaise will tell us about the big project to polish this hidden gem-- with a new deck, guide rails, sidewalks, railings, and suspender cables, it is getting more than just a makeover!
