‼️ 🚧The city of Schenectady informed us that upcoming paving work will impact the traffic flow near Howe and Schenectady High School. The work will begin Monday, October 28 at 6 a.m. and is expected to run through November 4.
The paving will be on Union St. from Van Antwerp Rd. in Niskayuna through McClellan St.
Union St. will become one way with east-to-west traffic flow.
A flagger will be positioned in the morning from 7 - 8 a.m. and 2 - 3 p.m. to allow for bus traffic from Baker onto Union St. (right hand turn only).
We wanted to make you aware in advance so you can plan your travel to and from school while the paving takes place.
We will let you know if anything changes.
