Residents and business owners have raised concerns over the proposed closure of Exit 114 on State Route 17 West. This closure is part of the Route 17 expansion project, aimed at improving a 30-mile stretch of the highway from Exit 113 in Wurtsboro, Sullivan County, to Interstate 87 in Woodbury, Orange County. The project's objectives include enhancing operational efficiency and safety, easing congestion, and ensuring the corridor meets Interstate standards.
On Wednesday, June 12th, at Veterans Park, State Senator Peter Oberacker of the 51st District joined local officials, business owners, and residents at a rally in the village of Wurtsboro to oppose the closure of Exit 114.
