ALBANY--Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Thursday, March 7 $128 million in new state funding for renewing state roadways impacted by this year's harsh winter weather. Funding will support 91 paving projects and the renewal of approximately 1,000 lane miles of pavement across the state, including at least one project in every county and the city of New York. The projects announced will begin this spring and will be completed later this year.
The area roadways that will receive funding from this program include:
• $1.3 million to resurface Route 14A from Lake Street to the Windmill Farm in Yates County.
• $1.5 million to resurface Route 79 from Route 414 to Route 227 (excluding the village of Burdett) in Schuyler County.
• $1.0 million to resurface Route 96A from Route 96 (village of Interlaken) to Route 414 in Seneca County.
"After being hit with multiple snowstorms across New York state this season, we understand the devastating impact extreme weather has on our roads and the need to provide additional assistance," said Lieutenant Gov. Kathy Hochul. "This significant funding will help communities repave roads impacted by the weather to ensure safe and efficient travel. We are committed to providing municipalities with the resources they need to address infrastructure repairs and upgrades across the state to enhance quality of life for all New Yorkers."
