Fall 2009 NYSRE Meeting

Mid-Hudson Valley (Newburgh/Poughkeepsie)

When:  Saturday, October 3, 2009 at 12:30pm
Where:  Gateway Diner, US 9W/US 44/NY 55 multiplex, Highland, NY 12528

Agenda:  The meet tour will focus on transportation and road
construction interests, primarily, but not limited to, the vicinity of
Poughkeepsie and Newburgh. The tour highlights will include the
Poughkeepsie Railroad Bridge project, which will open up as a
pedestrian bridge on October 3, 2009. You can get great bird's-eye
views of the Mid-Hudson Bridge and the US 9 Expressway in Poughkeepsie
from this bridge. For more information, check out walkway.org. We will
also be checking out the I-84/I-87 new interchange in Newburgh.

Directions:  From the New York State Thruway (Interstate 87), take
Exit 18 (NY 299 - New Paltz/Poughkeepsie) Take NY 299 east to its
eastern terminus at US 9W in Highland. Turn right onto US 9W south and
the diner will be about a mile to the south, on your right. From
Interstate 84, take Exit 10 (US 9W/NY 32) in Newburgh to US 9W north.
Take US 9W north about 15 miles to Highland. The diner will be on your
left, after US 44 and NY 55 have joined US 9W in a multiplex.

If you are interested in attending this meeting,
please email us at dougt...@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
You will be placed on a mailing list to inform you of any updates and
changes.
Please RSVP by Thursday, October 1, 2009 so I can call in an accurate
head count to the restaurant.

This meeting is open to all persons.
This page will be updated when information changes.

Bridge lighting is the night before. I suggested anyone interested
could meet up beforehand, maybe grab dinner together, then watch the
ceremony. Head off to our respective destinations, regroup the next
day for the meet.
