Description
Description | The project involves replacing a pedestrian footbridge at Paul T. Given Park in Smithtown that was destroyed during the August 2024 storm. The contractor was conducting test boring work to understand the ground structure for the bridge replacement. The town and DEC are working to stop the discharge of water caused by drilling into a pressurized aquifer layer, which resulted in a groundwater geyser near the park. The town is securing permits and waiting for FEMA reimbursement to proceed with the broader bridge repair and park renovations, including building a new welcome center on the site of a former bar. |
