Limited Access On Roads in Wappingers on Thanksgiving Weekend
It is officially the Holiday Traffic season in the Hudson Valley. We need to pack our patience this time of year when we get in the car to go somewhere.
Be ready for communities to have special events going on between now and the New Year that will most likely result in your getting stuck in traffic. However, if you know ahead of time, you can plan your travels and hopefully avoid delays.
Route 9-D Road Closure on Thanksgiving Weekend in Wappingers Falls, NY
One spot you will want to avoid driving through is the area around the Village of Wappingers Falls on the Saturday following Thanksgiving, November 25th. Yes, that is small business Saturday and it also happens to be the same day as the Village of Wappinger Falls Annual Christmas Parade.
The Village of Wappingers Falls Police Department sent an advisory message they wanted to share so that people will be aware of the parade and the road closures that can be accepted.
These closures will happen in the evening so getting around during the day should not be an issue, meaning hopefully the shopping hours won't be affected.
