Crews are on the scene along Route 7 in Hoosick after a large storm drain buckled under the road on Friday afternoon. NewsChannel 13 reports that DOT officials are on the scene, but the situation is very unstable and they have not yet been able to assess how bad the damage is.
Route 7 is now closed between Route 22 and County Route 95. The culvert carries overflow water from the Hoosick River, no word on if the excess rain caused the collapse. The DOT says they’ve initiated a 24/7 operation to replace the culvert.
No word yet on exactly how long the replacement work is expected to take. In the meantime the following detours have been set up:
- Heading eastbound:
- Car Detour
- Passenger cars will take a right onto NY Route 22 South, continue for 2.3 miles and take a left onto NY Route 346 East. After ½ mile, take a left onto County Route 95. After ¼ mile, take a left to continue on County Route 95. After 2.7 miles the detour ends back at NY Route 7.
