Directions to Emanuel Lutheran when the Saw Mill Parkway is flooded

When the Saw Mill Parkway is closed at Marble Avenue due to flooding, you have several options, all of which will get you to the church. None of these routes takes more than a few extra minutes.

1. If you’re on the Saw Mill and you see a sign that says the parkway is closed ahead, and you haven’t yet crossed under the Taconic Parkway, take the exit ramp for the Taconic (instead of going straight on the Saw Mill) and take the first exit which is for Pleasantville. It’s about a quarter of a mile away.
Turn right at the end of the exit ramp onto Rt. 117. When 117 splits about a half mile later, take the left fork. This road becomes Manville Road and the church will be on your left in about 8 blocks.

2. If you’re on the Saw Mill and you don’t know it’s going to be closed, you will be forced off at the Marble Avenue exit.
Turn left at the end of the exit ramp onto Marble. Go past McDonalds (on left) and cemetery (on right), athletic field (on your left), Pizza Hut (on your right), and then come to a traffic light. Go straight through intersection and then at the end of the next block (by the Pleasantville Diner), turn right onto Manville Road. The church will be on your left in about 4 blocks.

3. If you’re headed north on the Sprain Brook Parkway, and discover that the Saw Mill is closed, stay on the parkway as it passes the ramp to the Saw Mill (it becomes the Taconic there) and take the next exit instead which will be for Rt. 117.
Turn right at the end of the exit ramp onto Rt. 117. When 117 splits about a half mile later, take the left fork. This road becomes Manville Road and the church will be on your left in about 8 blocks.
