Poughkeepsie… The Dutchess County Department of Public Works (DPW) has announced work is anticipated to begin this week to create a continuous sidewalk along the southbound lane of Innis Avenue (CR-75) from the intersection of Jackman Drive to the intersection of Arnold and East Arnold Road.
Project work will include widening the sidewalks; adding sidewalk where gaps exist; upgrading intersections on both sides of Innis Avenue to meet American Disabilities Act (ADA) standards; adding painted crosswalks to intersections; making improvements to the roadway’s drainage system; and replacing and upgrading the traffic signals at the intersection of Innis Avenue, DeLaval Place and Emmott Place. Innis Avenue will remain open during construction, but alternating lane closures and traffic interruptions are anticipated. Access will be maintained to driveways in the construction zone. The project is anticipated to be complete by November 2023.
Motorists are advised to plan for additional time and to exercise extra caution near the construction site, obey the posted speed limits, traffic advisory signs, and the directions from flaggers to ensure the safety of workers and other motorists.
