Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo last month announced the completion of $19 million in road resurfacing and intersection-improvement projects in Onondaga and Oswego counties.
The projects included the resurfacing of nearly 38 lane miles of Interstate 81, the rehabilitation of portions of State Route 5 in the town of DeWitt and State Route 92 from DeWitt to the village of Manlius, and an upgrade of the intersection of State Route 370 with John Glenn Boulevard between Baldwinsville and Liverpool.
Project details
• The resurfacing of Interstate 81’s northbound and southbound lanes from just north of State Route 31 in the town of Cicero in Onondaga County, to just south of State Route 49 in the town of Hastings in Oswego County. The $10.2 million project milled and paved the road surface and reconstructed pavement joints to improve travel conditions, the governor’s office said in a December news release.
• The rehabilitation of portions of State Route 5 from Edwards Drive to the Lyndon Golf Course in the town of DeWitt and State Route 92 from Edwards Drive in DeWitt to the village of Manlius in Onondaga County. The $5.7 million project resurfaced the roadways and made sidewalk and curb improvements along roadways that are widely used by commuters and are home to many business and retail establishments. Additional improvements included upgraded traffic and pedestrian signals and new signs, per the state.
• The reconstruction of the intersection of State Route 370 and John Glenn Boulevard, about halfway in between the villages of Baldwinsville and Liverpool. The $3.1 million project added new turning lanes, resurfaced the approaches, and upgraded the signals and signage. The intersection is a major crossroads for motorists commuting along the Interstate 690 corridor and provides access to Onondaga Lake Park in the village of Liverpool and nearby business districts in the village of Baldwinsville and along State Route 57, according to the state.
“These projects will ease the flow of people and commerce along some of the most vital roadways in Onondaga and Oswego counties…,” New York State Department of Transportation Commissioner Marie Therese Dominguez said in the release.
