OSWEGO – Mayor Billy Barlow announced today the start of the 2021 City of Oswego paving project, resulting in widespread construction and multiple detours throughout the city.

The milling of city streets will begin Monday, May 3, and construction will last approximately three weeks. The $750,000 paving plan will pave several streets on both the east and west side of the city, along with the Water Street parking lot behind Canal Commons and a large section of East First Street included in the upcoming East First Street re-design project.

“We’ve worked hard to approve a paving plan and get the project underway as early in the season as possible,” Barlow said. “Our 2021 paving plan builds on our $4 million in paving in the last five years, addressing some of the bumpiest streets in the city. I thank motorists and residents for their patience and cooperation in advance and look forward to the project being completed in short order.”

2021 paving plan includes:
East First Street (SR104 to end of public space)
East 6th Street (East Schuyler Street to East Utica Street)
East 9th Street (Church Street to Lawrence Street)
East 11th Street (East Cayuga Street to East Seneca Street)
East 12th Street (Mohawk Street to Albany Street)
Mercer Street (East 9th Street to Mitchell Street)
Elm Street (Elm Street to end to Maple Street)
Elizabeth Street (Munn Street to O’Brien Glenway)

The City of Oswego Engineering Office and Department of Public Works will begin posting “no parking” signs along the construction route over the weekend and motorists should anticipate multiple detours throughout the next few weeks.
