DOT to begin Rte. 27 pothole repairs

The State Department of Transportation will begin roadwork sometime next month to fix potholes along parts of Route 27 in Water Mill, Wainscott and East Hampton, according to a news release by Assemb. Fred Thiele Jr. (I-Sag Harbor).

A representative in Thiele’s office said the assemblyman asked for the work to be done after being contacted by constituents in the area who told him of large potholes that were unsafe to drive over and were damaging cars.

All work will be on the eastbound lanes, Thiele’s office said. Complete road paving would take place at another time, according to the statement.
