The New York State Department of Transportation recently started road closures that will occur along State Route 33 in the town of Riga.

The New York State Department of Transportation has not provided a reopening date for State Route 33 there. It was closed March 27.
Construction schedules are subject to change depending on the weather. The DOT will provide updates as the project develops.
