road ridge

Local roadways, lately?

One, in particular, has been causing grief-and damage- for many drivers.

But as newschannel two's joleen ferris reports...that may change after today.

There's a bad case of road ridge on the on ramp to route 5/8/12, in deerfield, headed toward new hartford.

In this video from a viewer, you can see a car spark as it goes over it.

Michelle klosek's car fell victim, even though she slowed down, a lot, for it .

None .

None 2:13:40 "i hit it, it was like i hit a wall.

Blew my right tire out and i tried to control the car until i could get off" stand up klosek is happy she renewed her aaa membership yesterday.

Her car had to be towed here, to oriskany garage 3:25:23 "they are designed to go over and sustain some impact but this was excessive and caused some damage to the tire" 2:11:00 "we're seeing suspension issues and tire flats pretty much daily" body shops and towers have been kept busy by this and other, similar lips in the road 2:10:45 "first and foremost it scares the heck out of people.

Second of all, it's breaking beads on tires, it's damaging suspension.

It's pretty much making a mess of local commutes for people" we called the city of utica and state d.o.t.

To ask about this problem today.

A little while later, d.o.t.

Officials said the contractor was aware of the problem, and addressing it.

Shortly after, we saw the contractor, filling the ridge to ease the bump.

If your car has damage from this, you can call the state d.o.t.at 315.793.2447.
