1751 · 1780 – 1806 The Jozefínka, and armies in the valleyJozefínka a vojská v doline

In 1751 Bodružal became the seat of a dean — an administrative church centre for the valleys around it, and its parish office stayed here for nearly three hundred and fifty years. In the reign of Joseph II a proper road was cut through, the Jozefínka, linking Šariš and Zemplín over the Dukla with Galicia; a stone arched bridge from it still carries traffic below the village and a stretch of the old road survives in the woods towards Miroľa. A road is also a route for soldiers. Russian troops marched through in 1799, again in 1800 returning from Italy with Suvorov's army, and in January 1806 Kutuzov's men came back this way from Austerlitz. In 1787 the village had 22 houses and 149 people.V roku 1751 sa Bodružal stal sídlom dekana — cirkevným správnym strediskom pre okolité doliny — a farský úrad tu potom zostal takmer tristopäťdesiat rokov. Za vlády Jozefa II. tadiaľto prerazili poriadnu cestu, Jozefínku, ktorá spájala Šariš a Zemplín cez Duklu s Haličou; jej klenutý kamenný mostík pod obcou slúži dodnes a kus starej cesty sa zachoval v lese smerom na Miroľu. Cesta je však aj trasou pre vojakov. Ruské pluky prešli tadiaľto v roku 1799, znova v roku 1800, keď sa so Suvorovovou armádou vracali z Talianska, a v januári 1806 sa tadiaľto od Slavkova vracali Kutuzovovi vojaci. V roku 1787 mala obec 22 domov a 149 obyvateľov.
