If you live in Brewerton, you know changes are coming! NOPL Brewerton Manager Erin has collected a great deal of information for you on the Brewerton Streetscapes and bridge replacement projects. Above you will see a suggested alternate route to NOPL Brewerton to help you avoid temporarily congested areas.
The project is expected to last from April until September 2024. Construction will start at the Northeast corner (just to the north of Dailey’s Pour House) and proceed south on the eastern side of the street until that side is largely done. Construction will proceed to the northwest corner (just to the north of Rosie’s Corner) and proceed south to Guy Young until that whole side is completed. Typically, construction will run 7am – 4pm and construction is expected to pause before 3pm on Fridays to accommodate Speedway traffic. We have been told that construction should not affect business operations and that if driveways are inaccessible, it will only be for a short time. The police chief will have staff check traffic conditions periodically and may set a flagger out to control traffic. Traffic will largely be two-way but there will be points at which it will be one-way. For non-emergency calls about traffic, contact the police at (315) 425-2333.

  • This streetscapes project incorporates traffic calming techniques to help slow traffic and increase pedestrian safety. Some of these techniques include: larger-than-minimum-width roadways and on-street parking spots, streetlights similar to those near Riverfront Park, all with 20 amp electrical accesses, flush bump outs to give the appearance of a narrower roadway to encourage cars to slow that will also not impede plowing, brick stamped areas on which snow can be stored, and rapid flashing beacons to alert motorists to the presence of pedestrians who have the right-of-way, among others.

  • The Route 11 bridge constructions bid cycle will conclude in May when the project will be awarded. DOT will likely host a community meeting at that point with updates.

  • The Town is partnering with the Syracuse Metropolitan Transportation Council to complete a trail network feasibility study which may include Micron’s campus as a trail destination; the trail will largely be on National Grid’s rights of way.

  • A federal Transportation Alternatives Project grant cycle will conclude in May, and the Town is hoping to have funding from that grant to build sidewalks from Guy Young Rd to Orangeport Rd.

  • Streetscapes project questions can be directed to C&S Engineer-in-Charge Mark Anastas; his contact info is available at the library.
