The New York State Department of Transportation and the New York City Department of Environmental Protection will be repairing a 3-mile stretch of Route 990V in Gilboa for three weeks in October, according to a press release issued by the DEP last week.
Expect lane closures throughout the month if you are traveling along the road between Route 30 and County Road 39, an section that passes the DEP's Gilboa Dam, the Gilboa Town Hall and the Gilboa-Conesville Central School building.
The work was scheduled to start the week of Oct. 6 and last for three weeks, according to the press release.
The $740,000 repairs will be funded by the DEP under terms of the 1997 Watershed Memorandum of Agreement, which governs NYC's deal with upstate towns about the maintenance of dams, reservoirs, and surrounding roads. Construction at the Gilboa Dam has put increased truck traffic on 990V.
