A $6 million infrastructure improvement project to resurface a nearly 20-mile segment or more than 80 total lane miles of the New York State Thruway in Seneca and Ontario Counties is underway. The project includes full-depth repairs on I-90 eastbound and westbound between milepost 327.5 to milepost 347.1, which is located between exit 42 (Geneva – Lyons – NY Route 14) and exit 44 (Canandaigua – Victor – NY Route 332). Approximately 28,000 motorists use this stretch of I-90 in both directions every day.
The project includes full-depth pavement repairs at various locations throughout the 20-mile-long segment, as well as shoulder reconstruction. Full-depth pavement repairs are when crews remove and replace the most deteriorated portions on the stretch of roadway, down to its subbase. Approximately 80 percent of the Thruway’s concrete subbase is from the 1950s and is original to the Thruway system. The repairs will improve the existing roadway’s structural integrity.
Additional safety improvements include new reflective line striping and milled-in audible roadway delineators (MIARD) on the highway shoulders.
Seneca Stone Corporation of Seneca Falls submitted the low contract bid following a competitive bidding process. The project is expected to be completed in Fall 2025.
Motorists may encounter lane closures on the highway along with traffic shifts and stoppages while construction is underway. All work is weather-dependent and subject to change. Motorists are urged to be alert and follow the posted work zone speed limits. Fines are doubled for speeding in a work zone.
