Here's the official project description:

The DOT is preparing plans to repair and resurface 1.7 miles of Route 63 (Ellicott Street) in the City of Batavia.

The scope of the work includes asphalt pavement repairs, pavement milling 2.5 inches in depth, a 2-inch-thick asphalt overlay, new pavement markings and cleaning of drainage structures.

The pavement markings are planned to change the traffic pattern from four lanes to three lanes, with parking on both sides of the road.

This work will restore a smooth ride, as well as preserve and extend the service life of the Ellicott Street pavement.

Regarding traffic control, traffic on Route 63 (Ellicott Street) will be reduced to a single lane in each direction during pavement repairs and resurfacing operations. Day and nigh time lane closures are planned.

No Route 63 traffic detours are proposed.
