PINE PLAINS — Construction on Route 199 between Chase Road and Schulz Hill Road where crews are replacing a culvert is moving along on schedule.

New York State Department of Transportation Public Information Officer Heather Pillsworth provided an update to the Millerton News over email on Monday, July 28.

Pillsworth said crews have moved the new concrete culvert into place. Construction began on Monday, June 23, and is scheduled to continue until Aug. 31.

Route 199 is closed between Chase Road and Schultz Hill Road while construction takes place. A posted detour routes drivers north to Ancramdale via Route 82 and Bean River Road to avoid the closure.

Pillsworth said the Department of Transportation expects to reopen Route 199 later this summer, weather permitting.
