Sanford Road North to close for one month

Sanford Road North, in the Village of Churchville, will be closed to traffic through June 8. Work crews will remove and re-grade the road area connecting Sanford Road North to the I 490 west on-ramp. A new culvert will also be installed. Accessing the expressway from Route 36 will not be impacted.

This work is part of the ongoing capital project to realign Sanford Road North. This project will improve safety on the on-ramp to Interstate 490, reduce traffic congestion in the village and improve access to the adjacent vacant properties to make the land more viable for development.

The existing Route 36 on-ramp to Interstate 490 westbound overlaps with a short section of Sanford Road North, creating an intersection of the two roadways. This project will eliminate that intersection by reconstructing and realigning Sanford Road North as a separate roadway. The Route 36 on-ramp will operate as a one-way ramp similar to the other legs of the interchange.
