Highway Department

The Clifton Park Highway Department, in coordination with the Genesee & Wyoming Railroad, as well as third party contractors, are preparing the repairs and replacement of the railroad crossing on Ashdown Road. The crossing has been a problematic area for some time. The Highway Department has been advocating for the replacement and improvement of this railroad crossing for many months, and we are finally seeing movement with the project. 

While plans are preliminary, the project is most likely going to be implemented in late July of this year. We ask the community and commuters of this busy corridor to be patient while improvements are being made. These repairs will be a vast improvement to the current crossing which will help to improve traffic flow and potential vehicle damage. Message boards and signage will be going up shortly notifying the public of the coming temporary closures of Ashdown Road.

All work will be weather dependent, but it is expected to take five days. Please follow detours and be aware of necessary adjustments to your schedule to compensate for any changes in your commute. For additional information and changes throughout the extent of the project residents can visit the Town webpage at www.CliftonParkNY.gov or the Town on Facebook.
