Many drivers in Verona on Friday contacted police over a substance on Route 31 that appeared to have severely damaged drivers tires.
The State Department of Transportation confirmed there was no active sealing or road work going on.
State Police say a private contractor may have accidentally dumped the substance and ask if anyone in the area may have seen a truck leaking tar-like substance to contact troopers in Oneida.
The area in question is Route 31 near Route 365 heading east.
