Press release
Batavia, NY – Work for the South Lyon Street Bridge over the Tonawanda Creek project will resume
Friday, March 17, 2023, as the work on the bridge had been paused due to seasonal weather conditions.
A small portion of South Main Street in Batavia will be closed to traffic over the upcoming months. The
area of closure and detour options for vehicular and pedestrian traffic are identified in the included
graphic.
Please adhere to pedestrian signage and stay outside of temporary safety barriers.
The bridge replacement project began last September and consisted of two 11-foot lanes with 2-foot
shoulders and a 5-foot sidewalk on the east side of the truss. The alignment of South Lyon Street will be
modified to improve the intersection with South Main Street and approach work includes a seamless
transition to the relocated intersection, existing roadway, and sidewalks.
