Town of Southampton, NY February 21, 2025 — The Town of Southampton Department of Public Safety and Emergency Management has been advised by the Suffolk County Department of Public Works (DPW) that the Ponquogue Bridge is closed until further notice to all vehicular and pedestrian traffic in both directions.
The Town was informed that, while NYS DOT was conducting a routine inspection of the bridge on February 20, 2025, conditions were identified that have since resulted in the closing of the bridge. County and State engineers continue to analyze the data in an effort to determine what additional action may be necessary.
Until such time as the Ponquogue Bridge reopens residents and visitors are asked to pursue alternate means of accessing Dune Road. Residents and visitors are also urged to be mindful of the potential traffic impacts to other bridges and roadways that might provide access.
As the Town becomes aware of additional information, or a projected timeline for the reopening of the bridge, we will share that information. Residents and visitors are encouraged to enroll in alerts from the Town via the Notify Me messaging system at https://www.southamptontownny.gov/2070/Town-of-Southampton-Emergency-Alerts.
