TRAVEL ADVISORY
Bridge Steel Repairs
I-86 over State Route 275, Town of Friendship
Allegany County 

The New York State Department of Transportation today announced that work will begin on Thursday, July 13, 2017, on the bridge carrying I-86 west bound over State Route 275 in the Town of Friendship, County of Allegany.
The I-86WB on-ramp and the shoulder on I-86 WB will be closed to traffic.  Traffic will be able to travel through the driving and passing lane with no speed reductions.  State Route 275 will be reduced to a single lane with two-way traffic being controlled by temporary signals.  Local traffic seeking to travel west on I-86 will be detoured along County Route 20 to the next interchange in Cuba.  Motorists will be required to obey posted speed limits. The closure will begin Thursday, July 13, 2017 and last for approximately five weeks. 

This closure is to perform necessary steel repairs on the bridge carrying I-86 over State Route 275 at Exit 28.  The work for this project will be performed by the NYSDOT Bridge Maintenance group out of the Hornell Shop.
