Ridgewood NJ, The long delayed opening of the RHS/Stevens field bridge did get opened in time for the RHS graduation ceremony as Ridgewood Schools Superintendent Daniel Fishbein promised ,but one look at the RHS bridge has many resident wondering if we got our monies worth and was the problem really fixed at all?
The bridge connects Stevens Field to the main RHS campus and RHS Stadium . The bridge was found to be structurally damaged in late 2009. In November of 2011 the bridge was finally shut down to both pedestrian and vehicular traffic. Repairs cost the BOE approximately $85,000 .
The bridge was opened on Sean McCooe’s 50th birthday. Pretty incredible.
