East Avon, NY – Drivers in Livingston County are being asked to avoid N Avon Road today after a fallen tree caused an emergency closure between Oak Openings Road and Heath Markham Road.
According to the Livingston County Sheriff’s Office, the closure began early this afternoon after a tree came down across electric wires, creating a dangerous obstruction in the roadway. The East Avon Fire Department is working on scene to remove the debris and clear the tangled power lines so the roadway can reopen safely.
Officials did not provide an estimated reopening time, but crews are expected to remain on site for some time as they work with utility personnel to ensure the electrical hazards are fully addressed. Deputies say the closure is temporary but urged drivers to plan alternate routes until further notice.
The impacted section of N Avon Road sits in the town of East Avon, just north of the I-390 corridor in Livingston County, a stretch frequently used by local residents and commuters traveling toward Rochester and nearby communities. With traffic diverted around the scene, motorists may experience minor delays on surrounding rural roadways.
Residents in the area may notice utility activity and intermittent service trucks while the downed wires are secured. Authorities emphasize that no injuries were reported and that the closure is strictly precautionary while emergency crews work.
Drivers are encouraged to monitor updates from the Livingston County Sheriff’s Office for the latest information on when the road will reopen.
