NYSDOT Says Post Road Repairs Will Not Begin Until 2026

We’ve been navigating the closed lane on the Post Road south of Fenimore Road for over a year now. A deteriorated retaining wall caused rocks and debris to fall into the right southbound lane so a good stretch of road is closed on this very busy route. It’s a state road so the Village of Scarsdale does not have responsibility for the maintenance.

We reached out to the NYS Department of Transportation to find out when the wall and the road will be repaired and their response is below. It sounds like we are going to wait more than a year for the work to be done.

Here is what they said:

“The New York State Department of Transportation is progressing a project to reconstruct the retaining wall along State Route 22 (Post Road) in the Village of Scarsdale, which was constructed during the 1920s and has suffered extensive deterioration. The project, which will increase the height of the structure to improve resiliency and also include upgraded sidewalks and new landscaping, is currently in the design stages and construction is expected to begin in 2026. NYSDOT will also coordinate with local utilities to safeguard electric, water and gas lines in the vicinity of the wall. The Department will keep the community apprised of further developments.”
