GENEVA, N.Y. — The City of Geneva’s Castle Street Capital Improvements Project will involve Villager Construction installing new water services on Castle Street between Brook Street and Oak Street.
Work is expected to begin Monday, March 16. During construction, Castle Street will be temporarily closed in this area.
Traffic impacts:
Eastbound and westbound traffic on Castle Street will be closed between Brook Street and Oak Street during the workday.
Northbound and southbound traffic on Maxwell Ave. will be closed between Lafayette Ave. and Castle St.
P Parking may be limited overnight and during construction hours.
Construction is expected to continue for several weeks. All work schedules are subject to change due to weather or unforeseen conditions.

We appreciate the public’s patience and cooperation as these improvements are completed.
Residents and commuters should expect delays and temporary changes to normal traffic patterns. Work zones will be restricted to local traffic and emergency vehicles only, and short-term detour routes will be clearly posted.

Pedestrians: Please use crosswalks and sidewalks when available and remain a safe distance from construction vehicles and equipment.
