Two Culverts to be Replaced on North Quaker Hill Road in Pawling

 The Dutchess County Department of Public Works (DPW) has announced work will begin on or about April 28^th to replace two culverts on North Quaker Hill Road (CR-68) between Byrd’s Hill Road and the Connecticut state border, in the Town of Pawling. The portion of North Quaker Hill Road near the work zone will be closed with a detour posted along North Quaker Hill Road, New York State Route 22/55, Connecticut Route 55, Gaylordsville Road (Connecticut Route 39), and Tabor Road.

Project work will include replacing the culverts and installing new inlet and outlet walls, as well as widening the road to include the addition of shoulders and installing new guiderails to increase safety for pedestrians and motorists. Local access will be maintained to driveways near and within the closure area. Construction is anticipated to be complete, with the road re-opened to traffic, by the end of 2025.

This section of the North Quaker Hill Road averages approximately 185 vehicles per day.

Motorists are advised to plan for additional time and to exercise extra caution near the construction site and on the detour, obey the posted speed limits, and traffic advisory signs and the directions from flaggers near the work zone to ensure the safety of workers and other motorists.
