The New York State Department of Transportation, in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), is preparing a Route 17 Transportation Corridor Planning and Environment Linkages Study (Route 17 PEL Study).

A public hearting will be held on Thursday, March 18 from 6:30 to 8:PM.

The Route 17 PEL Study seeks to help accommodate transportation demands along the corridor between Exit 103 (Rapp Road) in Sullivan County and Exit 131 (I-87 – Harriman) in Orange County brought about by growth in the region – and to help accommodate future growth. The study will evaluate the environmental impacts and engineering feasibility of adding a general use third lane, in each direction, and improving key interchanges in Orange and Sullivan counties as recommended in previous planning studies.
