Reconstruction between Interchanges 39 & 40
About the Project
The New York State Thruway Authority has undertaken a project to reconstruct approximately 15 miles of Thruway pavement between Interchanges 39 (Syracuse, Fulton, I-690) and 40 (Weedsport, Auburn, Route 34) in Onondaga and Cayuga Counties.
The $128 million project, awarded in the Fall of 2008, to Cold Spring Construction Company of Akron, New York, is scheduled for completion in the Summer of 2012.
The project includes the complete reconstruction of two travel lanes in both directions, shoulder work, rehabilitation of four bridges, reconstruction and various safety improvements of ramps at Interchanges 39, 40 and the Warners Travel Plaza, installation of CCTV traffic monitoring cameras (used to assist the Authority in incident response and traffic management), in-pavement vehicle count stations, and weigh-in motion stations to detect truck loads, and the relocation of utilities.
