Rt 23A is CLOSED until further notice!
DETOUR NOTE: Heavy rains in June caused the collapse of a retaining wall near the trailhead to Kaaterskill Falls on Rt. 23A, taking a section of the roadway with it. We've been told that repair work will extend into early November. Travellers from the NYC-NJ area and the Hudson Valley will need to allow an additional 15 minutes or so for the trip. Visitors from the north will need to allow about 20 minutes additional. Visitors arriving from the west will not be affected. In the meantime, use these detour directions:
1) Motorists can use the New York State Thruway Exit 21 (Catskill), From the Thruway Exit 21 toll plaza traffic signal, make a left turn onto Route 23B, and than take the first right onto Route 23 west, then turn south onto State Route 296 to re-join Route 23A in Hunter.
2) Motorists can also exit the Thruway at Exit 19 (Kingston), take State Route 28 west to State Route 214 North and rejoin Route 23A in Tannersville.
There will also be construction taking place on Rt 23A in the Village of Hunter, roughly from Scribner Hollow Road through the village to Rt. 296. This will be starting in early April and will be ongoing through most of the summer. You can expect delays, but the road will not be closed completely. Consider using Ski Bowl Road and Riverside Drive to bypass the construction zones. Please obey posted speed zones on these roads. |
