Nighttime paving begins Thursday on Carman Road

Tuesday, August 11, 2020 - 20:49

GUILDERLAND — The New York State Department of Transportation is advising motorists to expect alternating lane closures with traffic controlled by flaggers on Carman Road (Route 146) between Western Avenue (Route 20) and Coons Road and Fuller Station Road from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m., beginning Thursday, Aug. 13, for a repaving project.

Work includes milling the old pavement, repairing damaged and heaved sidewalk panels, a new curb ramp at the intersection with Rainbow Drive, guide-rail replacements, and cleaning of drainage structures. All work depends on good weather.

Work is scheduled to be completed by Sept. 3.

Motorists are urged to slow down and drive responsibly in work zones. Fines are doubled for speeding in a work zone. Convictions of two or more speeding violations in a work zone could result in driver-license suspension.
