And just in time for the August 13-14th Arts Festival! A big thank you from the Village of Brockport to the Canal Corp engineers who expertly fixed a couple of damaged historic bearings critical to the bridge’s lift mechanism. They put up with the inquisitive mayor’s daily questions, handed her a hard hat and allowed her to take photos of their work to share the bridge repair with the inconvenienced Brockport community. Their willingness to share information
offered Brockporters a new understanding of and appreciation for this 109-year-old structure.
