🚧🚧Please be advised that beginning Wednesday, April 29, 2026, the Town of Fishkill Highway Department will begin drainage improvement work on Cedar Hill Road between Star Mill Road and Derick Drive.

During this work, motorists should expect intermittent road closures, delays, and posted detours. Local access will be maintained whenever possible, but travel through the area will be affected at times.

We encourage residents to plan alternate routes where feasible and allow extra travel time when passing near the work zone.

We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we complete these important improvements to help enhance roadway drainage and long-term road conditions.

The Town of Fishkill Highway Department is proud to highlight the Glenn R. Scofield Highway Facility, named in honor of longtime Highway Superintendent Glenn Scofield and his decades of dedicated service to our community.

Current Highway Superintendent Carmine Istvan has installed this new sign in a prominent location on our building, a fitting tribute that ensures Superintendent Scofield’s legacy and contributions to our community will be recognized for years to come.

Today we honored a legacy that helped shape our department for generations.

This restored 80-year-old snow blow blade now stands at the entrance of the Highway Facility, proudly bearing the name of longtime Highway Superintendent Glenn Scofield Sr.. It serves as a lasting tribute to his dedication, leadership, and commitment to our community.

Standing together at the site were current Highway Superintendent Carmine Istvan and Glenn’s son, Highway Working Supervisor Dean Scofield, bringing together the past and present of the department Glenn helped build.

A meaningful way to preserve history and recognize the people who made it.

🇺🇸 🇺🇸 It is yet again that special time of year, the Hometown Hero banners are going up around town! These banners serve as a meaningful reminder of the service and sacrifice of our friends, neighbors, and family members who have proudly served our country.

Highway Superintendent Carmine Istvan would like to sincerely thank Brandon Knapp, Angel Sanchez, and David Lamoree for their hard work installing the banners and helping ensure our local heroes are honored in such a visible and respectful way.

We encourage everyone to take a moment as you pass by the banners to reflect on the stories and service they represent.

Our Highway crews are still hard at work cleaning up after the snow storm. We are asking all residents with fire hydrants on their property to do their part by clearing 3 feet on all sides. Clear hydrants mean faster access during emergencies, when every second counts.
