CORTLANDT, NY — Croton Gorge Park is normally among the most exciting destinations in the Hudson Valley, but visitors can expect some boring interruptions in their futures.
Weekday access to the public trail and bridge along the top of the New Croton Dam in Westchester County will be interrupted starting Monday, Nov. 16, as the New York City Department of Environmental Protection begins boring tests needed to future infrastructure planning.
According to the department, the work will take place along the top of the dam, at its spillway, in the reservoir and in the Croton River. The testing is being done to help plan future infrastructure investments aimed at keeping the New York City water supply in a state of good repair, according to the agency.
The work is expected to require shutdowns of the public access trail and bridge along the top of the dam on some weekdays for the several weeks.
