Title: Washed out section of NY 23 to reopen Monday (12/12)
Post by: froggie on December 05, 2011, 10:41:10 PM
Found this article from WNYC (http://www.wnyc.org/blogs/wnyc-news-blog/2011/dec/05/catskills-road-damaged-tropical-storms-irene-and-lee-reopens/) that says a 5-mile section of NY 23 in the Catskills that was washed out from both Irene and Lee will reopen on Monday.

Related to the NY 103 thread (https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?topic=5267.0), the same article says that NY 103 is expected to reopen in January, and NY 42 in Lexington is expected to reopen in February.

A snippet about the construction of a temporary bridge on a local Catskills road (Oliverea Rd. in Shandaken) can also be found in this article.  The temporary bridge was constructed from start to finish in a mere 17 hours.
