Clifton Park Highway Superintendent Dahn Bull has announced that Forest Drive, between North Hill Drive and Maple Ridge, will be closed to traffic starting on Thursday, June 5, 2025. A large construction project will be taking place where the Town will be installing a large culvert.

During the closure, the Clifton Park Highway Department will have detours available for commuter traffic. The closure will last several weeks while crews install the culvert. Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes via Wood Dale Drive, Blue Spruce Lane and Shadow Wood Way.

The Town Highway Department asks that motorists practice increased caution while driving in the area. The road will be impassable during this period of construction.

Clifton Park Highway Superintendent Dahn Bull in coordination with the Genesee & Wyoming Railroad has announced that work will begin on the Railroad Crossing on Ashdown Road on July 14^th, 2025. The Road will be closed at this location from July 14^th through July 19^th, Monday through Friday of this coming week. Signs and detours are currently being established. 

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 call the Highway Department at (518) 371-7310.

A map has been added to outline the designated detours for the closure. These closures and detours match those that were established during the 2021 replacement of the Ashdown Road Bridge.
