Road Construction on Route 8 in New Hartford and Washington Mills Continues

There are still slow downs in New Hartford. The Route 8 bridge over S & W Railroad, between Genesee Street and Washington Mills will have a lane closure northbound and southbound 24/7 this week. Watch out for traffic pattern changes and a speed limit reduction to 45 mph due to bridge maintenance operations. The Mill Street ramp to Route 8 south is closed for the duration of the bridge deck repairs. Mill Street remains open to businesses and patrons. The good news is that only the ramp is closed.
