June 2026 Highway Update!

Good evening, ladies and Gentlemen

I’d like to take a moment to thank the men and women of the Highway dept. for their continued hard work and dedication.

Just wanted to remind those that haven’t done so yet sign up for the emergency alerts it is the best way to stay on top of road closures and other emergencies. 

I spoke to the contractor this morning Cimarron Rd Bridge project is moving along and on schedule. I ask residents to drive slow on Horton Hollow.

Unregistered vehicles are not permitted to be parked on town roads. If they are, they will be tagged by the building dept and will be towed within 10 days.

We replaced 35 ft of 12-inch pipe on Sawmill Rd as well as did some hammering of ledge rock and slight widening of a few sections of the road

Our tree crew took down several dead trees along roads.

Our Blacktop crew has been out patching roads where needed 

Our Basins repair crew has repairing basins they will be out daily as we have several in need of repair. They repaired 56 YTD

Vac-ALL crew has been out cleaning basins in Lake Peekskill they have cleaned roughly 345 basins so far.

The phones at highway are monitored 24 / 7 and I ask residents with issues to call us and not post on Facebook as we don’t troll for complaints. Several people have been going back and forth about highway related issues on social media instead of calling me my phone is on 24 / 7 I will not answer people’s questions on social media. 

I can always be reached in my Office 845-526-3333 on my cell 845-745 -0795 and SKEELER@PUTNAMVALLEY.GOV
