UPDATE: Work To Remove Hazardous Airmont Retaining Wall To Begin Monday
Following multiple crashes at the intersection of Yale Drive and Cragmere Road, work to remove the retaining wall that extends into the roadway is now scheduled to begin on Monday.
Airmont village officials confirmed to Monsey Scoop that equipment has already been delivered to the site. The project was delayed due to the rainy weather over the past several days, preventing crews from starting work as originally planned.
The retaining wall has long been a source of concern for nearby residents, who say it has contributed to numerous crashes at the intersection. After another rollover earlier this week, several residents urged local elected officials through Monsey Scoop to help ensure the approved project moved forward as quickly as possible.
With work now expected to begin Monday, residents are hopeful the long-awaited removal of the wall will improve safety and help prevent future accidents.
