I live a mile from this bridge, and this is a HUGE inconvenience to me -- because it is closed, we have to take the gently-winding River Roads either 5 miles north, or 5 miles south, to cross the bridge into New York. Also, this will kill the Milanville General Store -- our beloved General Stores that has been in business since the year 1850. Workers always flood the store at lunchtime, ordering up their lunch, and I know they drive in from both the New York side, and the PA side . . . because, lately, with the bridge closed, the lunch hour there is not at all busy. We must keep the General Store, and the town of Milanville in business! And the incredibly beautiful historic Skinner’s Falls bridge open! So we can continue to kayak, and swim, and raft and tube down the river . . . and stop in at the General Store for a cup of chili or a sandwich to take downriver with us.

Grew up in the area and use this bridge whenever traveling to Beach Lake/Honesdale area. It's a beautiful bridge over a beautiful stretch of the river and it would be a shame to permanently close it.

This bridge is essential both to our business interests and to the ambiance of our area. As much of what we count on is a tourist trade those things are almost interchangeable

there is no excuse for the disrepair & neglect of these bridges on the scenic byway & treasured american delaware river. there is no doubt, they would have been repaired by the state if fracking would have been allowed.

The bridge provides important access from my home to services and business nearby. Many businesses are dependent on this bridge including most importantly the Milanville General Store which has been in business for over 100 years.

This bridge being closed is a major inconvenience! It robs our time having to use alternative routes. WE ALREADY LIVE IN A RURAL AREA, why make it even more difficult to get where we need to go. Businesses on BOTH sides of the river are and will continue to suffer; especially once 'tourist season' comes. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, give us our bridge back!

Here we all are, working all butts off, trying to make a go of it, relying on tourism, being listed in NatGeo - and they won't fix the bridge? Doesn't make sense. To not fix this bridge is more than shortsightedness - it is shear stupidity. Fix the bridge.

This bridge is incredibly crucial to families and businesses on both sides of the Delaware. Please reconsider your stance on pemanently closing the bridge.

This is a bridge that my family and I use on a daily basis. Yet it has been closed for over a month and I havent seen any work being done on it whatsoever. I believe that I can speak for all the people in the area when I say that we want the bridge open for easy access between states.
