The New York State Department of Transportation is advising motorists that the off-ramp at Exit 19 at Route 7 on I-88 westbound in the Town of Worcester, Otsego County, will close for approximately 60 days starting on Monday, August 29.
The closure is necessary to facilitate a project to resurface the road and rehabilitate bridges.
Motorists should anticipate travel delays and build extra travel time into their schedule.
Construction activities are weather dependent and subject to change based on conditions.
A variable message sign will alert motorists of the closure and direct them to Exit 20 and a signed detour utilizing State Route 7.
Motorists are urged to slow down and drive responsibly in work zones. Fines are doubled for speeding in a work zone.
Convictions of two or more speeding violations in a work zone could result in suspension of an individual’s driver license.
