Utica North-South Arterial Drops to One Lane Overnight Between Burrstone Road and Oswego Street, Nov. 10–13
Why it matters here
The arterial (Routes 5/8/12) is the main north–south route through Utica, so late-shift workers and anyone driving through after dinner should plan on slowdowns for three nights.
Routes 5, 8 and 12, Utica's North-South Arterial, lose a lane in each direction between Burrstone Road and Oswego Street overnight from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m., starting Tuesday night, Nov. 10, and wrapping up by Friday morning, Nov. 13, the Daily Sentinel reported, citing the state Department of Transportation.
Why: pavement repairs.
What to know:
| Where | Routes 5/8/12 between Burrstone Road and Oswego Street, both directions |
| When | Tue., Nov. 10 through Fri. morning, Nov. 13, 6 p.m.–2 a.m. |
| Detour | None announced; expect delays or use another route |
Work depends on the weather, so the nights could shift. The DOT didn't say which lane closes.
Check 511NY before you head out. Also slowing traffic this week: Route 28 in Herkimer closes Nov. 11–13.
