The New York State Department of Transportation has been working to replace the Route 28 bridge over the Forestport Reservoir and Woodhull Road. In order to efficiently and safely complete the work, the NYSDOT put in place a detour that begins at the intersection of State Route 12 North and State Route 28 North. Apparently, some people are having trouble grasping the concept. Officials with the New York State DOT have again reiterated the fact that in order to ensure a timely completion of the bridge replacement project, they are urging motorists to follow the appropriate detour through Boonville. The estimated time of completion for the project was July 4th weekend, but work progress is moving along a little quicker. But, there have been several complaints and calls to the Oneida County Sheriff s Office of people ignoring the detour and using a route designated for local traffic only. This is frustrating for officials trying to get the job complete.
