The New York State Department of Transportation is advising motorists that a portion of State Route 275, just North of Reed Street, in the Town of Bolivar, Allegany County, will be reduced to a single lane with alternating traffic. Work will take place between the hours of 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. beginning Monday, May 18, to accommodate a culvert replacement project. Traffic will be controlled by temporary traffic signals. The work is anticipated to be completed by the end of November.

Motorists should anticipate travel delays during this time and are advised to seek alternate routes if necessary. Construction activities are weather-dependent and subject to change based on conditions.

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 the suspension of an individual’s driver license.
