Safety first! These are our neighbors so please keep an eye out on roadways throughout the Southern Tier. Like ⤵️ says: Be alert. Be patient. Be courteous. Everyone deserves to get home safely.

🥇🏆🎉 Kudos to our Regional Rail Coordinator, Ryan Andrus, who received the November Going the Extra Mile Award for the due diligence and innovative solutions he brings to keep every project moving forward.

It's important to remove hazardous trees - like these along NY 36 in Steuben County - so they don't topple into the road in windy or wet conditions. Crews throughout our region are tackling this now.

🚨⚠️ Route 36 between Crane Rd & County Route 126 in Troupsburg has been reduced to one lane with alternating traffic controlled by temporary traffic signals for a culvert repair project. Work is anticipated to be completed by the end of November. Please slow down & stay alert.

Deer are on the move and can be right in front of you before you know it. Keep your eyes on the road and watch your speed, especially at dawn and dusk.

Today we pause to honor the courage and commitment of all who have served. NYSDOT proudly salutes our veterans - including the many members of our DOT family - whose dedication to service continues to inspire us every day. 🙏👏 #VeteransDay #NYSDOTGratitude
