Central NY Roadways You May Want To Avoid

As I drove in this morning I was thinking about the roundabout being built at Oneida & Genesee Streets in Utica and then, thump goes my car on the torn up roadway at the Edic Road exit off the 790. My goodness, there is plenty of road work happening in Central NY. For example, the Route 5S eastbound bridge over Pitcher Street is being worked on. Motorists will encounter a shoulder closure and shortened exit ramp at the Turner Street exit.

Traffic Delays Expected In North Utica

I get SO frustrated when traveling up Rt. 5 (Auert Ave.) past the North Utica Shopping Center. As I approach Burger King, staying in the right hand lane like everyone else...some jerk flies by us in the left turn only lane and goes straight, cutting everyone off who patently waited through a signal or two. To be fair, motorists who are unfamiliar with the area will signal and politely merge over. Good news, this traffic pattern will soon change.
