Press release
Darien, New York — The Genesee Public Works Department announces a temporary closure of Colby
Road in the Town of Darien, beginning Monday, July 14, 2025. This closure is necessary to complete the
replacement of a culvert over Crooked Creek.
The project involves removing the existing structure and installing a new precast concrete box culvert
with cast-in-place concrete wingwalls. This infrastructure upgrade will improve long-term drainage and
road stability in the area.
A posted detour will redirect traffic using Broadway (US Route 20), Alleghany Road (NY Route 77), and
Sumner Road. The affected segment of Colby Road will remain closed to all through traffic for the
duration of the project.
Construction is expected to be completed by October 2025. The Genesee DPW appreciates the public’s
patience and cooperation during this important road improvement project
