The City’s Engineering Department is planning work on 2.75 miles of road with two major Dig-Once projects.
Dig Once projects signify an enhanced level of coordination with utility providers (water, sewer, telecommunication, gas, etc.) with the goal of replacing and repairing as much underground infrastructure as possible to minimize any future excavations made in newly paved roads.
Butternut Dig-Once Project from Grant Boulevard to Hillside Street
The project includes “full depth” reconstruction of the road along Butternut Street between Butternut Circle and Hillside Street; including new asphalt pavement, new sidewalks, replacement of water mains and lead water services, and rehabilitation of sewer infrastructure. It will also include a new traffic management plan for the intersection of Butternut Street and Grant Boulevard, as well as beautification of the center green space at the intersection.
Crews will begin the water main portion of the project this winter. Work began late last fall on sewer infrastructure in the area. Traffic will remain open on Butternut Street during the work. Residents will receive advance notification of any project impacts on neighboring properties.

West Genesee Street from North Salina Street to the City of Syracuse-Town of Geddes line
The City of Syracuse Department of Water is installing a new water main pipe on West Genesee Street from North Salina Street to North Clinton Street north of Clinton Square in Downtown. Work will begin Monday, May 9 and is expected to last a few weeks. The westbound lane of West Genesee Street from North Salina Street to North Clinton Street will be closed to traffic until the project is complete.
This work by the Department of Water is the first of many planned projects by multiple City departments for the West Genesee Dig Once project that will continue until the fall. Dig Once projects signify an enhanced level of coordination with utility providers (water, sewer, telecommunication, gas, etc.) with the goal of replacing and repairing as much underground infrastructure as possible to minimize any future excavations made in newly paved roads.
