Description
Potholes, sides of road worn away (EB/WB), with road flooding (poor to no road drainage).
This goes from Baileys Gap Road to Rocking Horse Ranch.
Use EXTREME caution in either direction.

But of course this is not fixed, it is worse!! The road is no longer safe with everyone dodging craters by swerving into the wrong lane, and much of the shoulder (the white line, there is NO shoulder) is badly erroded, making the road even narrower... and it was too narrow before these issues.
WISH Rocking Horse Ranch keep their horses on one side of the road; the am/pm horse crossings are unreal. It's a highway, not a horse trail!

@ bubba; it is a state road, isn't that a county number?
"In the lane?" the craters cover the middle of the road, and both east and west - bound lanes, and the shoulders ...I know, no shoulders, even the white guidelines are eroded away.
After my car was damaged on that road (why I filed the report), I won't let my teenager (age 19!) drive on that road, not safe... car damage is one thing, but the life of my children is everything.
The last thing is something that is year round, the drainage (lack of) from Baileys Gap Road on down toward Chapel Hill Rd, is because there are no drainage ditches, and the driveways have no drainage. Drainage ditches are a must, and driveways need grates (with ditch underneath) so they don't drain onto the roadway.
I hope this entire stretch of road is redone: pavement, drainage ditches, shoulders, and move the phone poles back from the roadway.
RHR: Build a tunnel for your horses! 44/55 is supposed to be a major highway, not a horse trail!

@ Bubba: Thank you!
Here is the address (I think) to "make the state aware" of the craters that damage cars and cause crashes on Route 44/55 --send certified mail/return receipt requested:
Transportation Department
11 Quarry Street
Kingston, NY 12401-2813
Telephone: (845) 331-5533
I always wrote to the Poughkeepsie State DOT address... will try this one!

Still not fixed! ...the road really needs drainage, and although I see some attempts at drainage, the roads and driveways (all of them) need culverts under them AND steel grates at the end so the water from the driveways does not flow over the 44/55 (the water flowing down/onto 44/55 from driveways and sideroads causes road icing, flooding, and erosion).
After drainage is addressed (hopefully over the spring and with steel grates at end of every driveway and sideroad), 44/55 needs to be made wider, have a shoulder that is at least three feet from the fogline, and resurfaced (from Rocking Horse Ranch on down to Chapel Hill Rd.
However, to repeat :) ...without properly addressing drainage (and runoff), the road will always be eroding and unsafe, any day of the year.
