The New York State Department of Transportation is advising motorists that the ramp from westbound Interstate 690 to southbound Interstate 81 will be closed during from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. on Monday, February 13, and Tuesday, February 14, to facilitate soil testing, weather permitting.
A posted detour will direct travelers to continue along westbound I-690 to the Geddes Street exit and re-enter I-690 eastbound to access I-81 southbound.
Drivers are asked to use caution when traveling through the work zone area and pay attention to all traffic control devices, including signs and flaggers.
Motorists are reminded that fines are doubled for speeding in work zones. In accordance with the Work Zone Safety Act of 2005, convictions of two or more speeding violations in a work zone could result in the suspension of an individual’s driver’s license.
