KINGSTON – Sewer repair work on Broadway in Kingston will begin on Monday, February 22.

The project will install new sanitary sewer pipes to replace old, failing sewer lines along Broadway from Cedar Street to East St. James Street.

There will be no detours or closures required on Broadway, but there will be no vehicular access to Van Deusen, Downs, and O’Neil Streets from Broadway. Detour signage will be in place for access to those side streets. Pedestrian access will be maintained, with signed pedestrian detours around the work zone.

During construction, there will be significant lane changes, with all traffic shifted to the south side of Broadway. Drivers should be alert for changing traffic patterns, which will be directed with striping and signage. Traffic signals in the project limits will be bagged, with temporary stop control on the side streets.

On-street parking in this area of Broadway will be prohibited for the duration of the project. Public parking lots located next to Sea Deli and at Cornell Street, as well as adjacent street parking, should be used instead.

“We are pleased that the work to repair and replace the sewers on Broadway is moving forward,” said Mayor Steven Noble. “The pipes are 100 years old, and in desperate need of replacing. We realize this work will coincide with the NYSDOT’s I-587 Roundabout project and will cause changes in traffic patterns and occasional delays, but this work is necessary to sustain and grow our city. Once the sewer work is completed, the Broadway Streetscape project can move toward completion as well.”

Construction is expected to be completed by approximately May 15.

Once the sewer work is complete, as a part of the Broadway Streetscape Project, Broadway will be re-paved from Pine Grove Avenue to the I-587 Roundabout.
