After months of construction, detours and anticipation, the Route 59 bridge in Spring Valley officially reopened early Tuesday morning, ahead of schedule. NYSDOT crews cleared the construction equipment and reopened the long-awaited roadway shortly after 5:00 a.m. In a fitting first, the first vehicle to cross the newly reopened bridge was a Rockland Hatzolah ambulance, returning from a hospital transport at approximately 5:20 a.m.
