The City of Syracuse is installing fiber optic cable on the city’s west side along West Onondaga Street for about the next two weeks. The intersections around Clinton and Gifford Streets will be reduced to one lane between 6:00 A-M and 6:00 P-M, causing delays.
Many commuters use the corridor from the west and south of downtown, and are asked to seek other routes.
Mayor Ben Walsh said the fiber project is part of the city’s plans to expand high-speed internet access to under-resourced areas. He added it should bring faster, more reliable service to homes and businesses in local neighborhoods.
During construction, drivers are asked to seek alternative routes during heavy traffic periods. Sidewalks are expected to stay open during the project.
