NEW CITY – Several Rockland County roads that were closed following substantial storm damage on Sunday and Monday have been reopened, according to County Executive Ed Day. The county exec is crediting the work of emergency responders, public works personnel, and road maintenance crews who worked during and after the storm to get roads open quickly.
The following roads have reopened:
- Route 210 in Stony Point
- Route 210 from Cedar Flats Road to Old Route 210
- Cedar Flats Road from Route 210 to PIP Entrance
- Bulsontown Road at Mott Farm Road intersection
While these roads have been reopened, some areas may still require caution as repair work is ongoing.
“We extend our sincere appreciation to the public works staff, emergency responders, and road maintenance teams who have demonstrated exceptional dedication and professionalism throughout this challenging period,” said County Executive Ed Day. “Their relentless efforts have enabled us to restore normalcy to our community sooner than anticipated.”
The following roads remain closed:
- Palisades Interstate Parkway (PIP) from Exit 14 to Route 6, both directions
- Route 9W from Tomkins Cove to Bear Mountain
- Bear Mountain Bridge
- Route 9W from Bear Mountain Circle to Fort Montgomery
- Goat Trail from Bear Mountain Bridge to Peekskill/Westchester
- Route 6 from PIP over the mountain into Orange County
“As we continue to focus on our recovery, we encourage residents to report any remaining issues with road conditions or any other storm-related concerns to proper authorities,” Day added.
The County of Rockland worked with New York State and Governor Kathy Hochul to be included under the State of Emergency declared for the storm damage. This enables Rockland to be included to potentially receive Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Funding. Residents are encouraged to save all receipts for repairs in case funding is made available.
