ITHACA ROAD TO CLOSE FOR REHABILITATION

Beginning on Monday June 11, 2012 the City crews will be performing road work on the stretch of Ithaca Road between Mitchell Street and Dryden Road.

A signed detour will be posted for northbound traffic coming from East State Street to turn left into Mitchell Street and continue all the way to the Cornell Road intersection. Motorists should turn left onto Cornell Road and continue up to Route 366. 

For southbound traffic, the detour will follow a right turn onto Dryden Road continuing down to College Avenue intersection. Traffic should turn left onto College Avenue and head down to Mitchell Street and connect on to East State Street.

No Parking Signs will be set up on College Avenue and at the Mitchell/Cornell Street intersection taking out parking locations to accommodate our detour route. Motorists should expect delays and are encouraged to use alternate routes to avoid the area. Pedestrians commuting through Ithaca Road will be accommodated within the work zone. The project duration is scheduled to begin June 11 and last through the month of July.

NOTE: residents on Mitchell and Cornell Streets and Dryden Road, take note. We will see a good deal of traffic through the month of July. 

Pedestrians should use caution when crossing streets and PLEASE report dangerous drivers to the Ithaca Police Department at (607)272-3245.
