199 Closure Detour Details

CLOSURE OF STATE ROUTE 199

(from NYSDOT, Hudson Valley)

 

Replacing critical infrastructure and ensuring the safety of the traveling public is of the utmost importance and this includes the upcoming replacement of the culvert along State Route 199 between Shultz Hill Rd & Chase Rd. At this time, work is tentatively scheduled to begin on Monday June 23, 2025.    

 

As part of this project, DOT contractors will close State Route 199 to thru traffic between Schultz Hill Road and house # 3488 Route 199 on June 23, 2025. At that time, crews will begin removing the existing culvert that carries the Shekomeko Creek Tributary under State Route 199 and installing a new culvert. The roadway will be replaced in kind.  This process will take approximately 10 weeks, weather permitting. State Route 199 will remain closed to all but local traffic between State Route 199/82 and Chase Road for the duration of our work.

 

Motorists are requested to utilize local signed detours.  As with all work zones and detours, please slow down and pay attention to all signage and roadway instructions, including flaggers.

 

As we move forward with this project, the project team will keep local officials and stakeholders up to date via regular email updates to keep constituents informed.

At first glance, Pine Plains looks like an ordinary, small country town. Like the other towns in Dutchess County, it was created from a larger tract, called a patent, granted by the English Crown to groups of men or companies for speculation. Pine Plains, along with the town of Milan and part of the town of North East, was carved out of the 1706 Little Nine Partners Patent, one of the last in Dutchess County to be granted. But here the similarity ends. Geography would play a significant role in shaping Pine Plains’ development, making it quite different from other towns in the region. Called “the pine plains” for the abundance of pine trees covering its valley floor, the area, bounded on the east and west by mountains, was something of a backwater.
