Living the detour from Oct. 28 to Nov. 1

As you head out to snag that last-minute Halloween costume (because your daughter changed her mind and now really does want to go trick or treating) or to pick up some candy reinforcements, there’s a few things – aside from the doorbell – to be mindful of this week, if you’re still living the detour.

Continuing our trend of letting you know when and where you’ll probably have to put on the brakes, the information we’re reporting on a weekly basis comes from the state’s transportation agencies via 511 New York.
