Multiple Major US Bridges Scheduled for Replacement Starting 2026

News summary

Several significant bridge replacement projects are underway or planned across the U.S. In Newburgh, New York, the 72-year-old Meadow Hill Road bridge over the Thruway is being replaced with a $7.8 million wider structure featuring a sidewalk and higher clearance, requiring traffic detours until summer 2026. Sacramento is set to replace the never-opened Del Rio Trail Bridge over Interstate 5 after structural deficiencies were found; construction begins in July 2025 with completion expected by year's end, involving some nighttime I-5 closures but no city expenditure due to contractor agreements. New Jersey plans a $6.2 billion replacement of the aging Newark Bay Bridge with twin cable-stayed spans to increase lanes and reduce congestion, with construction starting in 2026 and phased completion by 2037. In Redstone, Colorado, the 1947 Redstone South Bridge will be fully replaced during the summer of 2026; to minimize disruption during this high-tourism season, traffic will be rerouted through a north bridge with additional pedestrian access and signage. These projects reflect ongoing efforts to address aging infrastructure and enhance safety and capacity across key transportation corridors.
