Drivers should prepare for additional traffic on Tuesday as work continues on the Route 59 Bridge Replacement Project.

According to the New York State DOT, South Pascack Road will be closed between Perlman Drive and Pipetown Hill Road from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The closure is necessary to allow crews to safely carry out demolition work on the existing Route 59 bridge.

The temporary closure is part of the larger Route 59 Bridge Replacement Project, which remains ongoing. As previously announced, Route 59 is currently closed between New Clarkstown Road and South Central Avenue and is expected to remain closed through the end of the summer.

Questions regarding the project can be directed to the New York State DOT at 845-270-6030.
