Travel notes for Hammondsport area


TRAVEL ADVISORY
State Route 54A
Landslide and Culvert Repairs
Town of Urbana and Village of Hammondsport, Steuben County
The New York State Department of Transportation today announced work will begin on State Route 54A in the Town of Urbana and Village of Hammondsport.  Work will include emergency landslide repairs at two sites located approximately ½ mile north of the Village and previously planned culvert repairs at the south end of the lake near Village Shores Marina.
Work on the emergency landslide repairs may begin as early as the week of May 1.  Most of this work will require a full road closure until such time as the work is completed.  Once started, work at each individual site will be active during daylight hours, seven days a week. At times, the work may become a 24 hour/7 days per week continuous operation.
The previously planned culvert repair project, located near the Village Shores Marina has ongoing utility relocation work, after which construction will begin on the culvert repairs.  This work will also require a full roadway closure, which is expected to begin on or before May 15th after utility work has been completed.
Road closures at the two emergency landslide repair sites and planned culvert repair site will be staggered to maintain access to residents between the work locations.
Traffic during the construction work at these locations will be detoured using Steuben CR 76.  It is anticipated that work will be completed by the end of June.  Variable Message Signs in the area will give road users advance notice of the work.
