The Town of New Castle Town Supervisor Robert J. Greenstein reports that the the New York State Department of Transportation has begun night time paving and milling on Route 117.
The paving program began Thursday morning and is running on schedule, according to Greenstein. The project area encompasses Route 128 in from Mount Kisco through 141 in Mount Pleasant.
The following roads have been completed: Algonquin, Seneca, Paulding, the Brook Lane “cul-de-sac” Chatham.
Campfire Road will be started on Saturday at the intersection of Hardscrabble, and paving will continue to Route 100. Drivers should be aware of significant travel delays through Monday as workers continue to complete this project. Residents should use Route 120 as an alternate route.
The project encountered delays last week with the storms caused downed trees in the roadways and the police station lost power, according to the Town Supervisor.
Greenstein praised the Department of Public Works staff for their "tireless efforts," sending a special thank you to Gerry Moerschell, Bart Carey, Charlie Bergstrom, Dan Rubino, Walter Quast and John Maduras.
Greenstein said, "Once again they have gone above and beyond the call of duty."
