A portion of Park Road is being shut down this afternoon so work crews can remove a scaffold raised for the construction of the new hotel at Batavia Downs that was damaged in last week's windstorm, Town of Batavia Supervisor Greg Post said.
It's a matter of public safety, Post said, to close the road while the scaffolding is removed.
The project took some time to get to, Post said, after the damage, because the project needed to be carefully planned.
Batavia Downs will remain open, Post said, as well as the other businesses on Park Road.
There's no estimate on how long the project will take to complete.
