The New York State Department of Transportation announced today that work will begin this week along on the bridges carrying I-99 over State Route 417 at Exit 8 (Erwin/Addison) in the Town of Erwin to paint the steel members of each structure.
The work is expected to last approximately three weeks and is weather dependent. During this time, motorists may encounter flaggers, lane shifts and could experience travel delays. It is imperative that motorists remember this season to drive carefully through the many highway and bridge construction zones they will encounter.
Motorists are urged to slow down and safely move over when approaching roadside vehicles displaying red, white, blue, amber or green lights, including maintenance and construction vehicles in work zones.
