Oswego's Bridge Street Bridge Closed
April to November 2008

From about April 1 through November 2008, Oswego's main bridge spanning the Oswego River on the city's primary east-west thoroughfare, Route 104/Bridge Street, will be closed for replacement. The following detailed directions will aid families in navigating the City of Oswego during this construction.

From the North
Take I-81 South to Route 104 (Exit 34). Disregard detour signs that say: "Route 104 closed over Oswego River - Alternate Route."

Go to the next traffic light and turn right onto Utica Street. Cross the Utica Street bridge and at second traffic light turn right onto West Fifth Street. Continue to traffic light at Route 104 and take a left onto Route 104 West to our campus.

From the East
Take I-90 (the New York State Thruway) West to Route 481 North (Exit 34A near Syracuse). Proceed north on Route 481 through Fulton to the City of Oswego. Turn left onto Utica Street (Route 104 Detour Westbound). Cross the Utica Street bridge and at second traffic light turn right onto West Fifth Street. Continue to traffic light at Route 104 and take a left onto Route 104 West to our campus.

From the South
Take Route I-81 North to Route 481 North (Exit 16A in Syracuse). Proceed north on Route 481 through Fulton to the City of Oswego. Turn left onto Utica Street (Route 104 Detour Westbound).
