TRAFFIC SYSTEMS IMPROVEMENT PROJECT 17

The project involves the modernization of the signal systems to provide the desired highway safety benefits, and improvement of the equipment reliability along with a reduction in maintenance costs. The project aims to address ten (10) sites in total. New upgraded traffic signals/systems are intended to be installed at these locations: two sites along Route 5S at the Higby Road and Cemetery Street exits to accommodate the new Tractor Supply Distribution Center in the Town of Frankfort (Herkimer County), one site along Route 28 at the intersection of Caroline/Steele & Mohawk Streets within the Village of Herkimer (Herkimer County), one site along Route 365 at the State Street intersection in Prospect (Oneida County), one site along Route 13 at the North Court Street intersection in the Town of Lenox (Madison County), one site along Route 26 at the intersection of Knoxboro Road in the Town of Augusta (Oneida County), and one site at the intersection of Routes 12 & 20 in the Town of Sangerfield (Oneida County). In addition to the traffic signal improvements addressed by this project it is the intent of the NYSDOT to install new Variable Message Signs along Route 12 and Route 20 in the Town of Sangerfield as well as a new Roadway Weather Information System (RWIS) and accompanying tower at the Paris Hill brake check area along Route 12 in the Town of Paris (Oneida County).
