DUNDEE--New York State Department of Transportation Commissioner Marie Therese Dominguez announced last week that construction has begun on a $5.5 million project to enhance safety and mobility along State Route 14A in the village of Dundee.
The project will resurface the roadway, upgrade shoulders and sidewalks and add other new features to ease travel and enhance the quality of life for motorists, cyclists and pedestrians along this important corridor.
State Route 14A (also known as Main Street, Water Street and Millard Street) is the main route through Dundee’s business district and is an essential connector to New York’s Finger Lakes region and other area attractions.
“New York is moving full speed ahead with infrastructure investments that will connect communities in every corner of this state and improve the travel experience for all users of the transportation network,” Dominguez said. “The village of Dundee is a gem in New York’s stunning Finger Lakes region and this project will make it easier for residents and visitors alike to travel through it and experience all its charms.”
Originally built in 1929, State Route 14A is an important travel corridor between Seneca and Keuka Lakes, essential for transporting the region’s abundant agricultural products. The route is also traveled by non-motorized vehicles, including bicycles and the horse-drawn buggies used by the area’s growing Mennonite population.
Dundee Acting Mayor Judy Duquette said, “We are asking the residents and people traveling this corridor of the NYSDOT’s project to show kindness and respect while this work is being completed to allow for the safety of everyone. Looking forward to the finished project in the fall to enhance the business district.”
The project will rehabilitate an approximately one-mile stretch of pavement and sidewalks between Saunders Street and Vine Street, adding a new road surface, improved drainage systems, wider shoulders and sidewalks, and new turning lanes in the business district. Additionally, a quarter mile-long, 14-foot-wide, shared-use lane will be added between Main Street and Water Street to provide enhanced safety for pedestrians, cyclists and horse-drawn buggies. Upgraded curb ramps, crosswalks, traffic signals and landscaping will also be added to create a cyclist and pedestrian friendly streetscape.
During the project, motorists are advised to expect daily lane closures with posted detours. All work is expected to be completed by the fall of 2026.
Motorists should anticipate travel delays during this time and are advised to seek alternate routes if necessary. Construction activities are weather dependent and subject to change based on conditions.
