Waterbury Parkway Reopens after Pipe Replacement
3-day detour facilitated repairs at site where stream flows under Cortlandt road.
Waterbury Parkway reopened to through traffic Friday afternoon after replacement of deteriorated pipes carrying a stream under the Cortlandt road.
All but local Waterbury traffic had been detoured since Wednesday morning via Eton Downs from the “T” intersection near Town Hall to the three-way intersection of Waterbury, Eton and Park Drive.
A single pipe, 53 inches in diameter, replaced three smaller pipes that were prone to clogging from debris, which in turn contributed to erosion and occasional flooding. In recent weeks a metal plate had covered a gap in the pavement on the west side of Waterbury Parkway, also known as The Oval.

In the spring the town plans to resurface the entire section of road where the pavement was torn up during the project and deal with any issues that may arise during the winter.
The stream flows through the Waterbury Manor neighborhood and under Oregon Road before joining the Peekskill Hollow Brook, which in turn leads to the Hudson River.
