A section of East Road (County Road 140) in the Town of Plattekill will close to through traffic beginning Tuesday, July 7, as the Ulster County Department of Public Works replaces a large culvert over Gidneytown Creek.
The closure will affect East Road between the intersections with Old East Road and is expected to remain in place for approximately six to eight weeks, depending on weather and site conditions.
According to the county, the project is necessary to replace the existing large culvert at Gidneytown Creek. The roadway will be closed to all through traffic for the duration of the work.
