The Hudson Project is expected to draw up to 25,000 visitors and many of them will be routed through Catskill. Due to the expected volume of traffic, the State Police and festival organizers are advising travelers from the north to use Thruway Exit 21 at Catskill and to follow Routes 9W, 23A and 32 south to the event. Drivers from the south are being advised to use Exit 19 at Kingston. Police warn that local traffic in and around Saugerties will be heavier than usual, and they are encouraging anyone not attending the event to use alternative routes.
