Next Full Closure of Callicoon Bridge Scheduled June 30

CALICOON, N.Y. — Motorists traveling between Callicoon, New York, and Damascus, Pennsylvania, should prepare for a temporary closure of the Callicoon Bridge beginning June 30.

The New York State Department of Transportation announced that the bridge, also known as Interstate Bridge No. 7, will be fully closed to vehicle traffic starting at approximately 7 a.m. Tuesday, June 30. The closure is expected to last up to 48 hours.

The bridge spans the Delaware River, connecting Bridge Street in the hamlet of Callicoon in Sullivan County with State Route 1016 in Damascus Township, Pennsylvania.

According to NYSDOT, the closure is necessary to allow crews to install concrete on newly constructed bridge spans. The work is part of a $17.8 million rehabilitation project that is scheduled for completion this fall.

The June 30 shutdown is one of several temporary full closures planned during the 2026 construction season as work continues on the bridge improvement project.

Motorists, including commercial and freight traffic, are advised to follow posted detours and messages displayed on NYSDOT variable message signs. Pedestrian and bicycle access across the bridge will remain available during the closure.

NYSDOT said the project is intended to improve the long-term safety and reliability of the crossing, which serves as a key connection between Sullivan County and Wayne County, Pennsylvania.
