City Of Peekskill: Construction To Resume On Oakwood Drive

Press release from the City of Peekskill:

November 17, 2021 - 11:56am

Construction on the Oakwood Drive project is scheduled to resume shortly. Work had stopped temporarily due to the discovery of widespread utility interference during the installation of drainage and the subsequent need for revised plans in order to proceed.

The City has been working with Con Edison, the Department of Transportation, the City’s Inspectors, Tectonic Engineering Consultants, and the project’s contractor, Montesano Brothers, Inc., to resolve the situation in the most safe, timely and effective manner possible.

In the event of inclement winter weather and unfavorable paving conditions, the project may extend into early Spring 2022. The alternate routes through Buena Vista and the Hampton Oaks apartment complex will remain open and plowed throughout construction. In addition, to accommodate pedestrians, the sidewalk will be made walkable and cleared of snow during the winter months.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the delay and appreciate your continued patience as we work toward completing the Reconstruction of Oakwood Drive.
