EVANS, N.Y. (WIVB) - A new striping pattern is expected on Route 5 in Evans, to help ease left-hand turns and increase safety, according to the New York State Department of Transportation.

An approximately three-mile stretch of Route 5 will be resurfaced from Beach Road to Sturgeon Point Road. The existing four-lane section of Route 5 between Bennett Road/Eden Evans Center Road and Sturgeon Point Road will be re-striped to provide a three-lane section. The DOT says the lane configurations include one travel lane in each direction, with a continuous, dedicated two-way center left turn lane, and wider paved shoulders. The lane configurations at the signalized intersections with auxiliary turn lanes will not be changed. The section of Route 5 from Eden Evens Center Road to Beach Road will remain five lanes.

The road resurfacing project is scheduled to begin October 1st and to be completed by the end of October.
