What seems like perennial roadwork around Sag Harbor from the Bridgehampton-Sag Harbor Turnpike to Route 114 will continue this fall, PSEG Long Island said this month. Elizabeth Flagler, a spokeswoman for the utility, said it had, in fact, stopped work on laying a new power cable from its Bridgehampton transmission site to East Hampton during the busy summer season, but had begun again in earnest earlier this month. “We recently began working on the remaining approximately 3,000 feet of trench work on Route 114 that will be completed at night by roughly the end of September, first week of October,” she said. “That will allow the crews to install conduits and pull the cable to increase reliability for customers.” Stephen J. Kotz reports on 27east.com that motorists driving between East Hampton and Sag Harbor at night have been encountering several lit-up work areas along Route 114. PSEG has also been working on the Bridgehampton-Sag Harbor Turnpike north of Scuttle Hole Road in Bridgehampton and along Jermain Avenue in Sag Harbor during the daytime hours, causing delays for motorists and leaving a bumpy road in their wake. Flagler said relief will come later this year. “We expect permanent restoration to be complete before the holidays,” she said. “This will include not only repaving the work area, the road will be paved from curb to curb.”
