Construction of Champlain Hudson Power Express Pipeline Linked to

The construction of the **Champlain Hudson Power Express (CHPE) pipeline** through North Rockland has been linked to a sharp increase in blown tires on **Route 9W** in **Stony Point** and **Haverstraw**. Drivers and car repair technicians have reported a significant rise in tire damage, with some attributing it to the presence of sharp items in the street, such as nails, bolts, and rocks, which may be related to the pipeline construction. The **CHPE project**, which will run hydropower from **Canada** to **New York City** starting in **2026**, requires extensive equipment and materials, which may be contributing to the tire damage. The issue has been reported by multiple car repair shops, including **Professional Care Auto Repair**, which has seen an increase in tire repair and replacement jobs since the construction began.
