The Orangetown Highway Department reports 34 town roads still closed at 37 locations as of Thursday evening.
Those do not include county and state roads that run through Orangetown.
Orangetown Highway Superintendent Jim Dean said that in every case, the town is waiting for Orange & Rockland to clear downed wires.
"If not (for waiting on O&R), we'd have it all cleared," Dean said. "We are waiting until we know there is no power in the lines (on the ground). We can't do anything unless we have a body there and it's some critical spots."
In addtion to going to work to clear roads after O&R has cleared downed or damaged wires, Orangetown Highway Department crews will do the work of clearing spots with an O&R employee present to just test the lines and be sure there is no power in them.
Dean said that the highway superintendents in Rockland County will meet with a vice president from O&R each morning until all of the roads are open.
