Traffic Alert: Road Paving Over Next 2 Weeks Starts In Bedford

BEDFORD, NY — The leaves are starting to turn, but drivers will want to keep a laser focus on the roads for the next couple of weeks.

The Town of Bedford announced that two weeks' of road paving are planned, starting Wednesday, Oct. 12 through Wednesday, Oct. 26. Paving will not take place on Saturdays or Sundays.

Roads schuduled to be paved include:

• Edgemont/ Katonah Ave. (from Bedford Rd. to Parkway)
• Parkway (from Bedford Rd. to Katonah Ave.)
• Valley Rd. (from Bedford Rd. to Katonah Ave.)
• Allen Pl. (from Bedford Rd. to Katonah Ave.)
• New St. (from Huntville Rd. to Valley Rd.)
• Babbitt Rd. (from Harris Rd. to Buxton Rd.)
• Babbitt Rd. (from Robinson Ave. to Adams St.)
• Adams St. (from School St. to Route 117)
• Main St. (from Adams St. to Church St.)
• School St. (from Robinson Ave. to Adams St.)

The town also says it will be necessary to road mill all of these roads prior to paving them. They will also need to insert key cuts at road intersections and in front of some driveways.

In the Katonah business area, due to the density of on street parking, work will be planned so that paving on Katonah Ave. is completed by approximately 11:30 a.m. daily. Work later in the day will occur on one of the side roads (Allen, Parkway, or Valley).

Commuters, residents and business owners may experience temporary disruptions to traffic and access as paving operations are underway. Residents and business patrons are asked to not park for long durations on these streets during paving. Traffic control personnel will be on hand to direct people where to park in the business districts. Residents are also asked to not put out leaf bags, etc. out on the pavement for pick-up prior to paving as it will interfere with the paving progress.

The paving work will be dependent on both weather conditions, the paving equipment and unforeseen circumstances, which may push back the schedule by a few days. The town says that your patience and understanding are appreciated.

The Bedford Public Works Department can be contacted at 914-666-7669 or via email for any questions.

Any roads that cannot be completed in 2022 will be scheduled for paving next year.
