Drive with care, expect delays

PINE PLAINS — Motorists were advised to exercise a little extra caution when driving through the town of Pine Plains last week to make way for paving work being done on a number of local roads. 

Residents and visitors alike were asked not to park from Factory Lane to the main stoplight in downtown Pine Plains at the intersection of routes 199 and 82 starting on Thursday, Aug. 6, while paving and mill work was being done. A flagger was employed on the scene to direct traffic through those areas while orange cones were set up in the middle of the roadways.

The New York State Department of Transportation (DOT) is advising motorists to anticipate single lane closures while the mill work is done, weather permitting, weekdays through Friday, Aug. 28, from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., northbound and southbound on Route 82 between Main Street and Factory Lane and eastbound and westbound on Route 199 between Highway Boulevard and Route 82. Drivers should expect delays and plan accordingly, according to the DOT, which advised motorists to drive slowly and responsibly in work zones, where fines are doubled for speeding.
