Work has been completed on the bridge replacement over Whitney Creek on Judge Road in the Town of Alabama and the road is now reopened.

A portion of Judge Road had been closed since Oct. 12 to replace the bridge, which is immediately west of Crosby Road.

From Tim Hens, superintendent, Genesee County Highway Department:

Effective Monday, Oct. 12^th, the bridge over Whitney Creek on Judge Road in the Town of Alabama will be closing so that the bridge may be replaced. 

The bridge is immediately west of Crosby Road.

There will be a detour posted onsite for the duration of the project, which is expected to take approximately two to three months to complete.

I made a picture of this barn two springs ago and a lot of people said they liked it at the time, but as I learned more about photography, I was unhappy with the picture -- it lacked some pop with the overcast sky. Last spring, as soon as the dandelions bloomed, I went back to try a retake, but I drove out to Judge Road in the late afternoon, so the shadows on the west side of the barn were too dark.  This morning, with the dandelions in bloom, I tried again.

An accident with injuries has been reported in the area of 2687 Judge Road, Oakfield.

UPDATE 4:36 p.m.: A first responder, likely law enforcement, reports no injuries and suggested that Oakfield Fire not respond because of road conditions.
