Already westbound traffic on Rte. 23 would have to be prohibited from exiting there, but they'd be encouraged to use Worth Ave. or Middle Road instead. Alternately, there's Route 14 to 31 to 23.unheimlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00204285837938988668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723709701684173708.post-55549606014588979572018-08-06T13:30:54.969-04:002018-08-06T13:30:54.969-04:00One solution would be for trucks coming north on 9...One solution would be for trucks coming north on 9G to make a right turn on County Rte. #14 just south of Olana, then a left turn headed north on Middle Rd., then a left on #23 and across the bridge. This would be shorter than the proposed detour, and would avoid<br />Hudson completely. Although I suppose DOT has 600 reasons why those routes aren't fit for heavy truck traffic... peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15516536444700341403noreply@blogger.com
