The cones blocking lanes much longer than I suspect most people though they should will be gone this week. We’ll see whether the speed limit is a rational 55 MPH or lower.

All New Lanes of US Rte 14 are Scheduled to be Opened the Week of October 24, 2016.

While all lanes will be opened, Motorist are advised to be alert for miscellaneous punch-list work and landscaping work wrapping up this Fall.

Additionally, next Spring 2017, the majority of the Trees, Shrubs and Perennials will be planted.

And when it next rains, the public can see if the Engineer in charge has forced the construction folks to get rid of the depression at Route 14’s intersection with Rockland Road in Crystal Lake.
