Monticello, Route 42 running to Home Depot, fix-up into higher gear

Monticello – You know how bad it is if you've ever driven in the summer months along Route 42 in the Town of Thompson to Wal-Mart.
You see a milelong stretch of cars going nowhere.
Two state Department of Transportation projects are in the works to help solve the annual summer gridlock along the 1.3-mile stretch of Route 42 running through Sullivan County's retail core, past Home Depot, ShopRite and several chain restaurants and retail outlet stores.
