Bill Williams is reporting for Columbia-Greene Media that motorists that use Route 23A in Greene County, between Haines Falls and Palenville, may experience delays caused by roadwork during the coming week, according to the New York State Department of Transportation. The work is scheduled to take place October 3 through 7, weather permitting, said Department of Transportation Region 1 public information officer Bryan Viggiani. Workers will be concentrated in the area of Horseshoe Bend, and will be trimming back trees and branches to enhance driver visibility. Alternating lanes of one-way traffic, controlled by flaggers, are planned for that stretch of Route 23A, while the work is underway. The speed limit through the work zone on Route 23A is 55 mph, but several safety signs suggest a speed of 10 mph through Horseshoe Bend. Motorists are urged to slow down and drive responsibly in work zones. The DOT is reminding drivers that fines are doubled for speeding in a work zone.
