Looking West Over Bridge

From Day-to-Day on Talbot!

The new bridge is one lane until work is complete.   Visitors to Cayuga may want to allow extra travel time especially during the 5:00 p.m. hour - Cayuga's "rush hour"!  The stop lights at Talbot and Cayuga Street are set at green all the time for east/ west traffic;  however, there are portable stoplights at the bridge entrance both ends.  Watch for pedestrians ~ the crosswalk lights and the stoplights to One-way Cayuga Street are black-bagged.

The Night After Bridge Moved

This is the photo that earned over ten thousand hits on facebook.  Ten thousand, five-hundred in less that forty-eight hours.  We have a new bridge aligned with the highway.



Looking East Over the Bridge Night of Move
 

There continues to be construction on and under and at both ends.  Most days there has been two-way traffic although the lanes have been narrow because of a partial lane being used for construction equipment and workers.  Starting first week of November the bridge will go down to one lane for additional work.  We will keep you posted.

Scheduled to Align New Bridge W/Hwy 3 Saturday, August 27

Soon will the high midsummer
         pomps come on.
Soon will the musk carnations
        break and swell.
Soon will we have gold-dusted
        snapdragon
Sweet William with its homely
         cottage smell,
And stocks in fragrant blow,
Roses that down the alleys
         shine afar
And open jasmine-muffled
         lattices
And groups under the
         dreaming garden trees
And the full moon and the
         white evening star.

~ Matthew Arnold (1822 - 1888
     from "Thyrsis"

The Reality ~

 

Construction on the new bridge came to an abrupt stop last fall when members of the Haudenosaunee Development Institute - representing the Haudenosaunee Confederacy Chiefs Council - claimed they had not been consulted.

Easy Riding ~
Over the new bridge is easy riding.  Through the village?  Not so much!

Cayuga businesses want you to know that they are OPEN.  Welcoming signs in all the windows. "Come on in!"
