Beware the big gaping hole on upper Central Avenue in Tarrytown. Often the site for work crews, today the block just below Broadway is home to a team from Persico working on a transformer below the roadway.
The buried transformer, helping us get things we need like our air-conditioning this week, is capped with something that eventually wears down from traffic. In time, the cap needs replacing, said Jeff, among the workers there on this crazy-hot day.
They raised the transformer and will give it new housing, he said, before getting in his backhoe to pick up some refreshments from C-Town.
Exercise caution while passing.
