Construction for the new Smith Point Bridge is expected to begin in 2024, according to Suffolk County Department of Public Works Commissioner Joseph Brown. The new bridge will include a shared-use path and two travel lanes. It will not be a drawbridge like its predecessor, which is 63 years old. Credit: Randee Daddona; Photo credit: Hardesty & Hanover
