SCHENECTADY — Following a months-long closure, the Francis Avenue Bride that runs over I-890 and connects the Hamilton Hill and Mont Pleasant neighborhoods, officially reopened Tuesday.
The bridge, also known as the Cotton Factory Hollow Bridge, closed in March in order to accommodate a $3.2 million deck replacement project that included new sidewalks and improved lighting along the deteriorating roadway. Tioga Construction completed the project, which was paid for using a state grant the city was awarded in 2018.
