COLD SPRING – The New York City Department of Environmental Conservation will close a portion of the Breakneck Ridge Trail on the morning of Thursday, October 27 to ensure public safety as construction material is removed by helicopter from two locations in the area.
The recently completed work included improvements to drainage and security at two superstructures associated with the Catskill Aqueduct.
The same trail was closed for a short period in August when the same helicopter crew delivered construction materials to the project sites.
The closure will affect a short stretch of the trail about three miles north of the Village of Cold Spring, where a tunnel carries Route 9D through the mountain. The closure is expected to start around 7 a.m. and end by noon.
