Back-to-back bridge closures are causing major detours for Cayuga County drivers, according to WSYR. After the State Route 34 bridge shut down Dec. 1, the nearby Bonta Bridge closed Dec. 8, disrupting daily commutes in Brutus and Cato.
Officials blamed weight limits and plow safety for the latest closure. Some residents say they had no warning signs and now face lengthy, confusing detours just to run errands.
The Route 34 bridge won’t reopen until late 2026, leaving locals with limited options through winter.
