Pine Tree Road between Maple Avenue and Route 366 will be closed to all traffic from June 13 to Aug. 18. Some lane closures may occur outside this period. Most remaining work will be completed by Sept. 30, and the project will finish up in early November.

This collaborative effort among Tompkins County, the town of Ithaca and Cornell University will remove the railroad bridge and replace the pedestrian bridge structure over Pine Tree Road, construct a 10-foot-wide multiuse path between Maple Avenue and Dryden Road, and improve access to the East Ithaca Recreation Way.

The project will also improve conditions for drivers by widening the road and shoulder underneath the pedestrian bridge.

The vehicle detour route will use Ellis Hollow Road, Game Farm Road and Route 366. Part of the East Ithaca Recreation Way near construction will be closed during the project. TCAT will adjust affected bus routes.

This project is being led by Tompkins County’s Jeff Smith and managed by Greg Miller of Barton and Loguidice and Cornell’s Reed Huegerich.
