TOWN OF WALLKILL – The exit 122 rebuild
of New York Route 17 in the Town of Wallkill should be substantially completed
in August.
Rt. 17 Exit 122 work to resume when weather breaks
The state-funded more than $68 million project was expected to be finished
by the end of the year, but Town Supervisor Daniel Depew said State Transportation
officials told him the work would be done late this summer. “They
said they were ahead of schedule on the project, that they have teed up
a lot of things they will be able to start as soon as the winter breaks
and that they see no reason why they wouldn’t be able to be fully
functional and go with that project in the month of August,” he
said.
Construction includes newly configured entrance and exit ramps onto the
highway and a reconfigured road pattern to bring the roadway onto East
Main Street/Crystal Run Road where Orange Regional Medical Center is located.
