Rensselaer County officially reopened County Route 42 (Taborton Road) to traffic on Wednesday morning, November 24. Taborton Road was reopened at the same time the Town of Sand Lake opened a section of Oak Hill Road that intersects with it.
Taborton and Oak Hill are the two remaining roads that had been closed as a result of the July 14 storms and flooding that damaged a number of county and local roads. A bridge on Taborton was destroyed and replaced with a temporary bridge several weeks ago, and a large section of the road was destroyed by flooding. Work by contractors and the County Highway Department was completed just one day earlier.
