Albany’s Roadways Disrupted by Combined Sewer Separation Project

Attention, Albany residents! As of Monday, March 10, your daily commute may face some *serious* disruptions due to a major infrastructure project in the heart of the city. The Combined Sewer Separation (CSS) project has officially commenced, leading to temporary road closures that could put your travel plans on hold.

What You Need to Know About the Road Closures

Starting at 7 a.m. on March 10, portions of North Jackson Street will be entirely shut down to southbound traffic, commencing at the intersection with West Residence Avenue. If you’re used to navigating through this bustling area, it’s time to rethink your route! During this phase of construction, the section between West Residence Avenue and West Roosevelt Avenue along North Jackson Street will be converted into a two-way street, adding further complexity to your driving experience.

Additionally, both the east and west entrances connecting Jackson Street to the alley on Flint Avenue will be closed, effectively blocking off key access points. Local authorities are advising drivers to plan accordingly and seek alternate routes, such as North Madison Street, to avoid the construction zone during the next month. This phase is expected to last for approximately 30 days or until the work is completed, so prepare for a significant detour!

Stay Informed and Up-to-Date

As construction progresses, residents and motorists are encouraged to stay informed about the evolving situation. For regular updates regarding the Combined Sewer Separation project and road conditions, consider consulting local authorities or community bulletin boards. In the age of digital connectivity, following local updates on social media platforms can also keep you in the loop.
