$100 Million to Enhance Pavement Resiliency In New York State

December 4 (2024) it was announced that $100 million was being set aside that will enhance the resiliency of 70 New York State highways that are impacted by extreme weather, according to New York State Kathy Hochul's Office

551 miles throughout the Empire State will be repaved with support from the Infrastructure and Jobs Act.

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. 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. - New York State Governor Kathy Hochul
