Detour for Wolfs Crossing and Harvey closure starts May 31

Wolfs Crossing road improvements continue

Work continues on the first segment of the Village of Oswego?s Wolfs Crossing improvement project to create a modern, four-lane road to help ease traffic congestion, improve safety and accommodate current and future growth.

The intersection of Harvey Road and Wolfs Crossing will be closed effective May 31 through late November. The current four-way stop-controlled intersection will be replaced by a modern roundabout. The project was planned in stages to permit the Harvey Road intersection to remain open through the remainder of the school year. Detours will be placed along the route. The detour plan is shown at the end of this document.?

The project has been underway since early April on Wolfs Crossing from Harvey Road to east of Devoe Drive.?The Village?s contractor has been stripping topsoil, preparing subgrade, installing storm sewers, catch basins, inlets, box culverts, as well as constructing a detention basin. Due to an unanticipated gas main conflict, Wolfs Crossing east of Devoe Drive will remain closed until the utility work and road construction is completed for this section. ??

Wolfs Crossing construction updates and detour information can be found on the Village?s website. Residents can also get updates by signing up for traffic alerts through the Village?s email bulletin.

The Village has been planning for the widening of Wolfs Crossing for many years. The Wolf Corridor Advisory Team studied current and projected traffic demands, evaluated road improvement scenarios and sought public input. The advisory team recommended the roundabout design as the most effective and safest way to manage traffic through the corridor. The project also includes bike and pedestrian improvements, as well as construction of a new water main from Fifth Street to Devoe Drive to improve water pressure on the east side of the Village.
