Riverhead highway crews clear snow piles from Main Street
The Riverhead highway department partially closed a section of downtown Riverhead’s East Main Street Friday to clear away big piles of snow that had remained along the road after this month’s monster blizzard.
“I wanted to get all the neighborhoods open before I shifted my crews to downtown,” said Riverhead Highway Superintendent George (Gio) Woodson. “This way, when people come to town, they have somewhere to park. It helps out the store owners.”
The work started in the morning and was wrapped up by about 1:15 p.m. Friday, when the road reopened to traffic.
East Main Street had one lane closed while the crews cleared the snow from the side of the other lane.
