Brunswick, NY – Drivers in Rensselaer County are facing detours today after a crash forced the closure of a section of NY Route 351 in the Town of Brunswick.
According to the Rensselaer County Sheriff’s Office, deputies are currently on the scene of a single-vehicle motor vehicle accident on NY 351. As a result, the roadway has been shut down between White Church Road and Dearstyne Road until further notice.
Authorities say the closure is necessary to allow emergency crews to manage the scene and ensure public safety. Motorists are being asked to avoid the area and use alternate routes while the investigation and cleanup continue.
NY 351 is a commonly traveled connector route in Brunswick, particularly during daytime hours, and the closure may cause delays for local residents and commuters traveling through eastern Rensselaer County. Drivers heading toward nearby residential areas and rural routes should plan for additional travel time.
As of today, officials have not released information on injuries or the cause of the crash. The incident remains under active investigation, and updates will be shared as conditions change.
The Sheriff’s Office emphasized that the closure will remain in effect until further notice, meaning reopening times could vary depending on the outcome of the response and roadway conditions.
Motorists are encouraged to monitor local traffic updates and official sheriff’s office communications before traveling through the area.
