Crew to start inspection of railroad bridge  today 


Engineering inspections on the Poughkeepsie Railroad Bridge  are slated to 
begin today.

Peter Malewski, an engineer with  Bergmann Associates, said an inspection 
crew comprised of 10 people has  been setting up near the bridge, preparing for 
the inspection, which  should last eight to nine weeks, depending on the 
weather.

Crews  will follow standard Department of Transportation inspection procedure 
and  will look for signs of corrosion and any other potential  problems.

An underwater inspection last year went well, Malewski  said. This is the 
first inspection on the main framework of the bridge,  which is the focus of a 
future walkway connecting Dutchess County to  Ulster County.
