Route 28 paving project to begin this month

Route 28 paving project to begin this month

"The state has yet to begin a $6.6 million paving project on state Route 28 announced last month with an anticipated starting date only given as β€œApril.”

"The Indian Lake Highway Department confirmed the road reconstruction work, which was the subject of a March 27 public meeting, had not begun as of April 17."

"Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s office announced the paving project, which included rehabilitating 10.5 miles of Route 28 between Indian Lake and Blue Mountain Lake. "

β€œThis key project will help restore a critical North Country corridor, smoothing the ride for tourists and residents while strengthening the roadway for the future,” Cuomo said in a statement.

"Route 28 links the Cedar River Golf Course in Indian Lake with the Lake Durant State Campground and the Adirondack Experience in Blue Mountain Lake. "

Blue Mountain Fire Tower

There is a fire tower on the mountain overlooking Blue Mountain Lake. It has some interesting views, and can be checked out by driving just north of Blue Mountain Lake on NY 30. It is one of the most popular hikes in the Adirondacks, and many people also visit Moose River Plains or the Adirondack Museum after hiking the tower.

Here is Blue Mountain heading North on NY 28.

Radio Station

Flowers on the top of the mountain.

 Wildflowers

To the north-east there are views of the High Peaks Mountains. They probably woudln’t be as clear on a hazy day.
