BUFFALO, NY - The Amherst Highway Department has closed a local pedestrian bridge until further notice, saying its structural integrity is insufficient.
The Department announced Wednesday that the bridge on the Tonawanda Creek Canal Trailway over Ransom Creek was not suitable for pedestrian traffic. The bridge is located at 2700 Tonawanda Creek Road.
The Town of Amherst says it is now looking into replacing the bridge. Until then, the bridge will be closed to trail users for their own safety.
