On Wednesday, the New York State Bridge Authority reminded motorists construction on the Newburgh-Beacon Bridge, Rip Van Winkle Bridge, Kingston-Rhinecliff Bridge and Bear Mountain Bridge will cause delays and sometimes closures for the foreseeable future.
The Newburgh-Beacon Bridge north span redecking project is causing westbound traffic from Route 9D to merge onto the south span of the bridge. During the weekday evening rush hour, westbound traffic from Rt 9D will continue on the north span in the right lane. Westbound traffic from I-84 will merge onto the south span, officials say.

Last week the New York State Bridge Authority
shared the news that the Hudson Valley was on baby falcon watch. They also shared that the NYS Bridge Authority has a camera in place that reloads every 10 seconds or so, so you can follow along on the baby falcon journey.
There is no due date, but we re guessing it could be any day now.
Peregrine Falcon s are pretty common here in the Hudson Valley. They are known to make themselves comfy in high rise buildings and bridges. The Department of Environmental Conservation explains:
The falcon prefers open country from tundra, savannah and sea coasts, to high mountains, as well as open forests and tall buildings. Nests are built on high ledges, 50 to 200 feet off the ground. The nest itself is a well-rounded scrape and is occasionally lined with grass.

Though the COVID-19 pandemic dominated the airwaves most of the year, there were some other significant developments in 2020. WAMC’s Hudson Valley Bureau Chief Allison Dunne highlights a few of them in an abbreviated year in review.
2020 began with finding ways to help the Rockand County community of Monsey following a December 28, 2019 machete attack during a Hannukah celebration at a rabbi’s home. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo was in Rockland mid-January to announce funding for security infrastructure.
“I want everyone to know that we have learned from Monsey a painful lesson; we’ve learned from what’s going on; and we will respond and we will react and we will do everything in our power on every level to make sure this horrific act doesn’t happen again,” Cuomo says.
