The New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) held a Public Information Meeting to review the proposed Safety and Drainage Improvements along US Routes 5 & 20 from the 5 & 20 split near Save-a-Lot to the bridge over Cattaraugus Creek.  The Safety Improvements include a road diet that will reduce the lanes from four lanes (two lanes in each direction) to 3 lanes (one lane in each direction with a center turn lane) as well as drainage improvements throughout the corridor.  The signals will be replaced at the 5 & 20 split and at the intersection of 5 & 20 and Allegany Road. 

Schedule: Construction is anticipated to begin in the fall of 2024 and be completed in the fall of 2025.
