East Syracuse (WSYR-TV) -- Road work along Bridge Street in East Syracuse caused significant delays this past fall. Now, viewer Mark Hugunin wants to know what the status of that road work is.
Gene Cilento with the Department of Transportation says the work has been suspended for the winter. The soil nail wall – a type of retaining wall – has been installed. Long nails are driven into the embankment and the weight of the soil above bears down on the nails, keeping everything in place. So what’s left? Additional lanes still have to be created. We’re told the work will resume once temperatures are consistently above 50 degrees. The department says work will likely be complete sometime late this summer.
