Syracuse – DeWitt Road, C.R. No. 6
(North Street in Jamesville)
This project, in the Town of DeWitt, begins at NYS Route 173 in Jamesville and proceeds 1.4 kilometers northerly to the intersection of Rock Cut Road. Traffic counts performed in 2006 indicated 10,094 vehicles using North Street on an average day.
The highway currently consists of pavement structure, shoulder width and drainage facilities that are unable to handle both current and future vehicular demands. Slope failures along North Street adjacent to Butternut Creek and in the area of the intersection of Lime Kiln Road need to be corrected through the use of slope stabilization and/or retaining walls.
Improvements are proposed using 100% Onondaga County funds and include the reconstruction of the mainline to meet the needs of a design year defined as the Estimated Time of Completion plus 20 years (ETC+20) and will include all necessary pavement, shoulders, related drainage and slope stabilization/retaining walls.
Intersection improvements at NYS Route 173 and Rock Cut Road are NOT anticipated. Major improvements/renovations are NOT anticipated to the railroad bridge over North Street located immediately south of Rock Cut Road. Design was begun in 2006 and progressed through 2009 with a 2010 Construction letting expected. Design is being coordinated closely with the Town of DeWitt to accommodate new sanitary
sewer and potable water systems needed by the Town.
