Work On 2 Culverts
Clogging Route 28
Coop-Fly Creek Tie-Ups End Dec. 1
COOPERSTOWN – As, drivers on Route 28 between here and Fly Creek have noticed, the state Department of Transportation began work the day after Labor Day on a project that is clogging traffic both ways, particularly during rush hours.
The DOT is replacing two concrete box culverts, work that will continue until Dec. 1.
A temporary traffic signal is in place to control alternating 10-foot-wide single-lane traffic, with flagmen during working hours, which are from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. All work will be performed weather permitting.
The DOT is reminding drivers that fines are doubled for work zone infractions; two or more violations in a work zone can lead to a license suspension.
Keep up to date on the traffic by calling 511 or visiting www.511NY.org.
Don’t forget about the resurfacing happening on Glen Avenue and Chestnut Street, adding to the headaches. And, someone is starting extra early, around 5:30am with noisy machinery!
