Santaro to US 690 repair project awarded to Syracuse firm
Santaro Industries of Syracuse wins a 5.67 million contract to repair 16 bridges and about 40,000 square feet of roadway wall on 1-690. Westbound 1-690 remains open but narrowed to two lanes at points as crews work toward a 25 to 30 year lifespan. The project fixes decades old damage from a too thin salt-susceptible pavement layer and rusting steel reinforcement. Next summer will see similar work on 1-690 east near Crouse Avenue and bridges by the State Fairgrounds.
