TOWN OF WALLKILL – The new tunnel under Route 17 connecting the
Orange Plaza and Galleria at Crystal Run has been open for over a week
with traffic flowing as if it has been opened for years.
On Friday, a formal ribbon cutting was held attended by a host of past
and current local officials.
Town Supervisor Daniel Depew said the project came in on time.
“Our goal has been to make Wallkill the cleanest, safest most convenient
retail location in the Hudson Valley and this tunnel helps us move in
tht direction,” he said.
It is a hope that the shopping center connector will take much of the
traffic off Route 211 during the holiday season.
Past and present local officials hold their own “Wallkill
Winning Way” street signs at the official dedication of the
tunnel connecting the two malls
