What Residents Should Know About Upcoming Road Work In Vestal

Welcome to spring. And welcome to road work season. Winter was a bit rough on our local roadways this year.

As the season progresses, we'll be encountering several streets and roads under repair, and while it may be a bit inconvenient in the short term, the long-term result will be worth it.

Vestal Traffic Advisory

The Vestal Police Department just released a traffic advisory for the Vestal Parkway West in the area of Town Hall Road, over the Choconut Creek. According to the notice, one lane will be open in each direction, utilizing a temporary crossover to divert traffic.

The VPD noted that there will be no Access to Town Hall Road from the Vestal Parkway. A detour will be in place for access to Town Hall Road from the Vestal Parkway by utilizing Front Street.

Motorists will be able to access the east end of Front Street from Main Street at Four Corners, and the west end of Front Street from the Vestal Parkway just east of Castle Gardens.

The expected project duration will be until Fall 2027. The Vestal Police Department notes that both sides of the bridge are being replaced.

New Traffic Pattern in Johnson City

As of today, April 8, 2026, the Village of Johnson City notes a new traffic pattern change at the intersection of Willow Street and Harvey Stenger Place (formerly Corliss Avenue).

That intersection has been converted from its current two-way stop configuration to an all-way (four-way) stop to improve safety for motorists and pedestrians.

Village Officials noted that the change was decided on after community concerns and an engineering review completed by the Binghamton Metropolitan Transportation Study, which determined that the intersection meets the applicable warrants for an all-way stop based on crash history and sight distance concerns.
