Road closures as filming for Paramount Pictures production begins this week

The Dutchess County Department of Public Works has announced a section of West Dover Road (CR-20), located in the towns of Dover and Pawling, will be closed from Thursday, July 23 through Sunday, August 9, 2026 for a Paramount Pictures feature film production.

The film production is a closed set, and the road will be re-opened to all traffic on Monday, August 10, 2026.

A quarter-mile section of West Dover Road near Blackberry Road will be closed, with a detour posted redirecting traffic over Route 22 via Pleasant Ridge Road and River Road.

Residents will have full access to their properties throughout the production. Emergency services and postal services have been notified of the closure to ensure emergency services remain accessible. View or download a map of the detour.

That same area of West Dover Road near Blackberry Road was previously closed to film the John Krasinski-directed horror-thriller, “A Quiet Place,” in 2017 and its sequel in 2019. According to local officials, the title of the upcoming project to be filmed at the site is called “Little Falls,” though there is speculation that this could be related to the final installment in the “Quiet Place” series, which began production in May 2026; Scenes for A Quiet Place III were shot last week in Durham, Greene County, according to the Times Union.

“Productions like this bring real economic and promotional benefits to Dutchess County, showcasing the beauty and character of our area and bringing millions of dollars into our local communities,” Dutchess County Executive Sue Serino said. “The benefits last long after filming wraps as these productions showcase our communities to wider audiences and support future tourism and investment.”

“We understand the road closure can cause some inconvenience for nearby residents,” Serino added. “We appreciate everyone’s patience and cooperation as we make this exciting opportunity possible.”

Dutchess County has been the scene of several recent productions, including Fox’s “Best Medicine” series, Netflix’s dramedy “The Four Seasons” and the zombie-action-horror film “Zero Protocol.” According to the Hudson Valley Film Commission, film production in the region had an $86 million economic impact in 2025, including more than $28 million in Dutchess County.
