Photos: Crews Remove Downed Trees off Route 9W

Photos submitted by Patch Reader Alma Richmond on Nov. 4. He lives off of Route 9W in Nyack

Tree crews working 16 hour shifts, dangerous and exhausting work. Many have no power in their own homes. Starbucks in Nyack sent coffee to crew on 9W working on the most dangerous and unstable tree, technically difficult to remove due to size of root ball.

Police stopped all thru traffic, OSHA came to insure safety. Crane needed. DOT here, O&R and later crew from Georgia to remove utility poles with augers to dig holes for new poles and restore service on 9W by tonight and road will re-open @ that time.
