Projects To Protect New York’s Roadways From Inclement Weather, Enhancing Sustainability of Statewide Infrastructure

Governor Kathy Hochul today announced $100 million to enhance the resiliency of state highways in 70 locations across New York impacted by extreme weather. With project support from the Infrastructure and Jobs Act, a total of 551 lane miles of state highways in every region of the State will be repaved, reflecting the Governor’s ongoing commitment to revamping and revitalizing New York’s aging infrastructure in the face of global climate change.

“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 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.”

The State Department of Transportation is already responding to snow and ice events all across New York State. Paving investments in the face of extreme weather help ensure that state highways remain in good repair and have the added benefit of making it easier for Department staff to perform snow and ice operations across New York more effectively and efficiently.

State Department of Transportation Commissioner Marie Therese Dominguez said, “Targeted infrastructure investments not only enhance public safety, but the resiliency and sustainability of New York’s vast network of roads and bridges. With a record $33 billion capital plan for the Department of Transportation, Governor Hochul is investing more in New York’s infrastructure than ever before. Smart transportation investments have the ability to bring people and communities together, and that’s just what this investment in our critical infrastructure will do across New York State.”

Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer said, “$10 million from our Bipartisan Infrastructure & Jobs Law is literally paving the way for improved safety and good-paying jobs repairing cracks and modernizing highways across New York. This is especially timely with winter approaching. Investing resources to keep our highways maintained to the highest safety standards is crucial to safe travel for residents and visitors, and efficient movement of goods for our businesses. I’ll never stop fighting to make sure that our roads are as safe and efficient as possible, and I’m thankful for Governor Hochul’s work putting these federal dollars to good use.”

Representative Paul Tonko said, “I’m proud to celebrate this significant investment that will help communities across our state withstand the increasing challenges presented by extreme weather. Made possible in part by our Bipartisan Infrastructure Law — which has already delivered more than $74 million to improve roads and highways in the Capital Region alone — these upgrades will play a key role in bolstering safety and quality of life for millions of New Yorkers. Going forward, I’m eager to see how these improvements will enhance resiliency and drive economic growth across New York State for years to come.”

Representative Joe Morelle said, “Investing in our aging infrastructure is essential to connecting people with family members, schools, employment opportunities, healthcare providers, and so much more. Here in New York State, we have the honor of experiencing all four seasons — meaning we must take extra measures to ensure our roads are resilient against scalding summers, freezing winters, and everything in between. I’m grateful to Governor Hochul for utilizing federal dollars I helped secure to strengthen our local infrastructure, and I look forward to our continued work together.”

Representative Pat Ryan said, “Extreme freeze-thaw cycles and devastating flooding like we witnessed last year in the Hudson Valley already lay waste to our roadways, and with these once-in-a-lifetime weather catastrophes only increasing in frequency, we need to strengthen our infrastructure now. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law created historic investments to improve the resiliency of our roads. I’m proud that these funds will make roadways smoother and safer for Hudson Valley families while creating good-paying jobs along the way. I’ll keep fighting every day to bring more of these landmark investments home to NY-18.”

State Senator Jeremy Cooney said, “With winters like ours, it is especially vital that New York leads the way when it comes to making substantial investments into our infrastructure. That's exactly what this funding from Governor Hochul will do, and I commend her and Commissioner Dominguez for continuing our commitment to safer roads and safer conditions for drivers statewide.”

State Senator John W. 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.”

Assemblymember William Magnarelli said, “Investing in our highways reinforces New York State’s commitment to protecting and enhancing our statewide infrastructure. The partnership we have with Governor Hochul and the Department of Transportation shows the support for programs enhancing the safety and quality of life for the traveling public.”
