Road Repair Update

I recently talked to the Shandaken Highway Supervisor Eric Hofmeister about the road repairs scheduled for Woodland Valley. He told me that the FEMA money they had been waiting for had not come through yet. So that means that they will only be doing the stream bed rebuild by the Fawn Hill bridge. The project scheduled for the road in front of Roxmor will not happen until some time in the future. The bids for the site by Fawn Hill must be in by August 17th. They will then decide who gets the contract and start work immediately. All work must be completed by September 30th when the contractors are required to be out of the stream. Woodland Valley Road will be down to one lane during the day while the repairs take place. I will keep you all posted as I get more details.
