As winter weather settles across the region, the state is awarding funding for projects that would see state highways repaved in 70 locations across New York once the weather warms up.
Local projects include:
- $1.5 million to resurface Route 96 from Route 366 to the Village of Waterloo, Town of Fayette, Seneca County.
- $2.1 million to resurface Route 5/20 from the Seneca County line to Route 326, Town of Aurelius, Cayuga County.
State Senator John Mannion said, “Securing infrastructure dollars for Central New York and working with the Governor and partners across government to modernize roads and bridges has been a high priority during my time in the State Senate. This $100 million to repave over 500 miles of state highways will keep our roads safe and in the best possible condition for our residents and visitors.”
“Between extreme heat in the summer, devastating winter storms, and the ongoing saga of freeze-thaw cycles, New York’s roads take a pounding from extreme weather in all seasons, and this investment takes direct aim at rejuvenating some of the State highways most impacted by extreme weather,” Governor Kathy Hochul said. “Keeping our infrastructure in a state of good repair is a sound investment that not only increases resiliency but spurs economic development and tourism across New York.”
