Schumer today called on CSX Transportation to immediately make critical repairs to restore this major crossing, which has been closed since December due to structural deficiencies which pose a public safety threat to vehicle traffic. Schumer explained while CSX has had a year to take action, they have refused to make necessary repairs, leaving a major travel obstruction in place for far too long. The Senator said it’s vital CSX fix this bridge promptly so it can safely be re-opened to travelers and once again serve the community.\r\n“CSX knew about this bridge’s structural issues for over a year and still has failed to make the necessary repairs that will reopen this vital passageway for the Greater Rochester community. They refuse to even claim ownership of the bridge despite records showing CSX made bridge repairs as recently as 2009, and instead think the burden should fall on the local taxpayer for their failure to maintain their own bridge, that is unacceptable. Ensuring the community is safe to cross should be CSX’s highest priority and there is no excuse for idleness when residents and families can’t easily head out of town, commuters can’t get to work, and kids can’t get to school,”,” said Senator Schumer. “CSX needs to stop railroading the community with excuses and make the repairs needed to restore this bridge for the Town of Ogden and Monroe County.”"}}
