Carpenter’s Flat Route 9 bridge has reopened

By John T Ryan

December 5, 2023 – Luck Bros. lived up to its targeted reopening date for the Carpernter’s Flat Bridge this morning at 8:48 a.m. when a northbound car crossed the bridge at 8:48 a.m. a few minutes before Luck Bros. had removed all the “Bridge Closed” signs. The gentleman driving the car may have been checking to see if the news reports about the bridge’s reopening were accurate. About five minutes later, he crossed the bridge headed southbound.

Luck Bros. will spend the rest of the day taking down the many detour signs in Peru, Chesterfield, and Keeseville. The NYS Department of Transportation closed the bridge to traffic on July 9. Based on the many comments to previous Peru Gazette stories, many local people are pleased that the bridge has reopened.
