MAHOPAC – The $2 million worth of improvements at two intersections on US Route 6 in Somers and Carmel are expected to begin next week. The work will be performed by a contractor hired by the state Department of Transportation.
The two intersections are where Route 6 meets State Route 118 in Somers and where Route 6 meets Union Valley Road in Carmel.
The project will include widening and realigning Route 6 at both intersections and building turning lanes in order to make traffic flow better and reduce delays.
New and modified signals will be installed at both intersections as well as new pavement markings and curbs.
The Route 118 intersection will receive a new crosswalk and ADA-compliant ramps. Minor drainage improvements will also be made.
