Binghamton Detour: Section of State Street Closed for Months
Drivers heading into downtown Binghamton via the State Street Bridge now are being directed around a new construction site.
Northbound traffic on State Street will be detoured onto Susquehanna Street for the next several weeks.
A concrete median barrier on State Street will be removed. New underground drainage and utility crossings will be installed and the street will be repaved.
According to the state DOT, the work is part of the initial phase of a $46 million project to improve traffic flow and safety in the downtown area.
Detour signs guide motorists off State Street and onto Susquehanna Street and then to Isbell Street near the YMCA and the Broome County Office Building at Governmental Plaza. Drivers then can use Hawley Street to return to State Street.
Southbound motorists are able to use State Street to leave the downtown area during this phase of construction, although traffic will be reduced to a single lane.
The 363 Gate Project is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2028.
