•The second phase of construction on the Ontario State Parkw

The second phase of construction on the Ontario State Parkway Bridge over Salmon Creek in Greece is set to begin Thursday morning.

According to the Department of Transportation, the westbound exit ramp to Manitou Beach Road, or exit 261, will be closed until late December while construction operations are underway. A detour will direct traffic to use Payne Beach Road. The DOT says the detour will be lifted during the winter shutdown and be put in place again come springtime when construction resumes.

The DOT worked in January to replace the eastbound lanes. That work is now complete and traffic has been shifted. A single lane in each direction will continue to be open.
