The New York State Department of Transportation is advising motorists that State Route 60 will be closed from West Courtney Street to West Doughty Street in the city of Dunkirk beginning at 7 a.m. Monday. The closure is necessary to facilitate repairs to the railroad crossing by CSX.

State Route 60 is expected to reopen at 5 p.m. Saturday, June 29, weather permitting.

Northbound and southbound traffic on State Route 60 will be directed to follow posted detours along local streets.

Motorists are advised to allow for extra time while traveling through this area.

Motorists are urged to slow down and drive responsibly in work zones. Fines are doubled for speeding in a work zone. Convictions of two or more speeding violations in a work zone could result in the suspension of an individual’s driver license.
