The Long-Term Plan For This Intersection

 Early 2021 is when we learned about the construction plan for this intersection in what was said to be a $5million project to improve this area of roadway in Dutchess County, improving the flow of traffic and easing congestion in the area.  Just last month construction began in the area, and when the project is complete, more than 50 new trees and more than 200 shrubs and plants, along with decorative lampposts, pedestrian crosswalks, sidewalks, and even a park, will be found in this area of Wappingers.
