PIN 5765.41 Warren Spahn Bridge Replacement over Cazenovia Creek - BNY

New Project

The Greater Buffalo-Niagara Regional Transportation Council (GBNRTC), the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for Erie and Niagara Counties, is proposing to amend the 2023-2027 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) by adding one (1) new project.

PROJECT OBJECTIVE(S):

  • Correct safety, structural, and operational deficiencies of the bridge and approach roadways to obtain at least 20 years additional service with minimal future maintenance by utilizing a cost-effective method

  • Reduce or eliminate flooding by preventing the accumulation of debris on the pier in the middle of the waterway, and limit ice jamming

  • New and upgraded pedestrian and bicycle accommodations that meet ADA Guidelines

Total project cost is $5.695M. Fiscal constraint will be maintained as the project was awarded a total of $4,697,000 from the Bridge NY Program. With the required 5% local match of $247,211, the matched total is $4,944,211. Any expenses exceeding the award is the responsibility of the sponsor. The sponsor (City of Buffalo) estimates project costs will exceed this amount and will provide an additional $750,789.

The GBNRTC is currently in consultation with the Interagency Consultation Group for Air Quality Conformity (ICG) for a Transportation Conformity determination. Exemption Code A19 - Widening narrow pavements or reconstructing bridges (no additional travel lanes).

Obligation is scheduled for 11/15/26.

Public comments will be received for 30 days from 3/6/25 until Close of Business (COB) on 4/5/25.
