The New York Department of Transportation has announced that overnight ramp and lane closures on the Scajaquada Expressway will start on Monday, affecting drivers in Buffalo. The closures are due to milling work and will impact commuters who use the expressway.
The milling work is expected to last for several nights, and drivers should expect delays and detours. The Scajaquada Expressway is a major thoroughfare in Buffalo, and the closures will likely affect drivers who use it to commute to work or school.
The Department of Transportation has not specified which ramps and lanes will be closed, but drivers are advised to check for updates before heading out.
"Drivers should plan ahead and allow for extra time to reach their destinations," said a Department of Transportation spokesperson.
The closures are part of a larger effort to maintain and improve the Scajaquada Expressway, which runs through several neighborhoods in Buffalo, including Parkside and Black Rock. The expressway is a vital transportation artery for the city, and the milling work is necessary to ensure the safety and smoothness of the road.
The closures will affect South Buffalo homeowners who commute to downtown Buffalo, as well as parents in the Buffalo Public Schools who drop off their children at schools near the expressway. Small business owners on Hertel Avenue may also be impacted, as the closures could affect customer traffic and deliveries.
The Department of Transportation will provide updates on the closures and any changes to the schedule. Drivers can check the Department of Transportation website for the latest information.
