A three-year construction project has begun on I-190, which will affect commuters in the Buffalo area. The project is expected to cause delays and lane closures, and Buffalo residents should plan their commutes accordingly. The construction project started on Tuesday, June 23, 2026, and will continue for the next three years.
The New York State Department of Transportation is overseeing the project, which will improve the safety and efficiency of the highway.
"The construction project on I-190 will have a significant impact on commuters in the Buffalo area," said Jane Smith, a spokesperson for the New York State Department of Transportation. The project will affect South Buffalo homeowners, who will experience increased traffic and noise levels during the construction period. Small business owners on Hertel Ave should also be prepared for potential disruptions to their businesses. The City of Buffalo will provide updates on the project's progress and any changes to traffic patterns.
The Buffalo community will have to adapt to the construction project, but the end result will be a safer and more efficient highway. The New York State Department of Transportation will hold a meeting on July 1, 2026, to discuss the project's details and answer questions from the public.
