cayugaheightsroadbridge 120The New York State Department of Transportation is advising area motorists and residents in Tompkins County that the first of two concrete deck pours on the bridge carrying Cayuga Heights Road over New York State Route 13, in the town of Lansing, is scheduled to begin at 6 a.m. this morning, Friday, July 17.

This work will require that the bridge be fully closed to all traffic for a period of three days to allow for the pouring and the vibration-free initial curing of the concrete.  Once the bridge is closed on July 17, it is scheduled to re-open to one-way, signal controlled alternating traffic on Monday, July 20.

During the closure period, a detour using Route 13 will be in place, sending motorists east or west one exit to turn around.

Note that the pouring operation is very weather dependent.  If rain is in the forecast, the concrete pour and the subsequent cure may be postponed until a rain-free, three day window is forecast.
