Residents and business owners have raised concerns over the proposed closure of Exit 114 on State Route 17 West. This closure is part of the Route 17 expansion project, aimed at improving a 30-mile stretch of the highway from Exit 113 in Wurtsboro, Sullivan County, to Interstate 87 in Woodbury, Orange County. The project’s objectives include enhancing operational efficiency and safety, easing congestion, and ensuring the corridor meets Interstate standards.
On Wednesday, June 12th, at Veterans Park, State Senator Peter Oberacker of the 51st District joined local officials, business owners, and residents at a rally in the village of Wurtsboro to oppose the closure of Exit 114.
U need to see the wants and needs to this exit ! If u don’t live here u have no idea what this exit connects u to . So stupid.
Closure of this exit will re route traffic to Exit 113 which will lead to increased traffic on Route 209 and cause dangerous conditions in an area that is both commercial and residential.
