Bridge maintenance to close part of State Route 28 in Herkimer County

Bridge maintenance is expected to close a portion of State Route 28 in the village of Mohawk and the town of German Flatts for three weeks, starting on Monday, May 13, the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) said in a statement.

State Route 28 will be closed between Jordanville Road, (County Road 18) in German Flatts and State Route 168, (Hammond Street), in Mohawk, NYSDOT said.

The closure is expected to continue for approximately three weeks and is necessary to facilitate bridge maintenance on the structure over Fulmer Creek.

Local traffic will be allowed to use State Route 28 up to the bridge work zone's south end. Trucks are advised to follow the posted detour utilizing Jordanville Road (County Route 18), State Route 167 and State Route 168.

Construction activities are weather-dependent and subject to change based on conditions. Motorists should anticipate travel delays and build extra travel time into their schedules.

Motorists are urged to slow down and drive responsibly in work zones.
