Construction has started on a significant road project in Camillus and Geddes, with a budget exceeding $19 million. The New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) is overseeing the work, which involves milling and paving a 3.6-mile stretch of road. The construction covers Route 695 from Route 5 to Interstate 690 and Route 5 from West Genesee Street to Route 695.
The project aims to improve road conditions and traffic flow, including the reconfiguration of turning lanes at the interchange between State Route 5 and West Genesee Street in Camillus. The funding for this project comes from both state and federal sources, ensuring that the necessary resources are available for its completion.
Residents and commuters in the area should expect to see construction crews and equipment along the route. The NYSDOT anticipates that the project will be completed by the summer of 2026, meaning that construction will be a familiar sight for the next year.
For more information, the NYSDOT has provided details on their official website, where updates and additional project specifics can be accessed.
