Alternate Route Directions to HHNM’s Outdoor Discovery Center due to Construction on the Angola Rd. Overpass

On or about March 8th, the Angola Road overpass of Route 9W will be closed for at least several months (exact date of completion is unknown at this point) in both directions for bridge replacement.  The exit ramps off of 9W to Angola Road will remain open at least during the beginning of the construction.  You can access the Outdoor Discovery Center (HHNM) side of Angola Road from the southbound side of 9W by taking the Angola Road exit ramp and turning left onto Angola Road and then proceeding to the Muser Drive entrance.  

From Cornwall you can take Quaker Avenue to Route 9W southbound and follow the directions above. 

Because of the bridge removal there will be no direct access to the Museum from the 9W northbound Angola Road exit.

Returning to Cornwall from the Outdoor Discovery Center (HHNM) will require a longer detour.  Turn left out of Muser Drive onto Angola Road and then at the Mineral Springs intersection turn/bear right (previously a righthand fork) onto Angola Road and proceed to Route 32.  Turn right onto Route 32 and proceed approximately two miles to Quaker Avenue.  Turn right onto Quaker Avenue and proceed into Cornwall.

If and when the southbound 9W ramp to/from Angola Road is closed you will need to reverse the above directions to get to the Outdoor Discovery Center (HHNM).

Take Quaker Avenue west (downhill) and at the “T” intersection turn left (south) onto Route 32.  Proceed for approximately two miles and then turn left onto Angola Road, follow Angola to the intersection with Mineral Springs Road and turn left continuing on Angola Road until you come to the Muser Drive entrance on your right.
