The Breakneck Ridge Station on Metro-North's Hudson Line is about to undergo a major facelift.

The Putnam County station will shut down for two years when construction begins along the very popular hiking spot along the Hudson River. It begins on Monday.

Breakneck Ridge and other area trails will close as part of the first phase of construction of the Hudson Highlands Fjord Trail, a 7.5-mile linear park that connects Hudson Highlands State Park Preserve trailheads between Cold Spring and Beacon.

Frequent hiker Jessica Berrocal traveled from New Jersey for one last hike before the work begins.

"They have a famous rock scramble that goes up, they have ruins. A lot of people take the train to come here because this is such a beautiful trail,” she said.

Metro-North President Justin Vonashek says once completed, Metro-North riders will once again have direct access to the popular hiking destination.

"The renovated and upgraded Breakneck Ridge station will make it more attractive than ever to take the train to the trails," he said.
