ALBANY, N.Y. — The New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) will spend more than $600 million on over 180 paving projects statewide that are set for completion in 2026.
That includes $25.3 million for eight projects in Central New York, $37.6 million for 15 projects in the Mohawk Valley, $59.6 million for 18 projects in the Southern Tier, $35.4 million for 28 projects in the North Country, and $46 million for 17 projects in the Finger Lakes.
The 180 projects, which total almost 2,150 lane miles, are in addition to the paving initiatives already scheduled as part of NYSDOT’s core programs and, taken together, represent the “most ambitious annual road resurfacing agenda ever put forward” by NYSDOT, the office of Gov. Kathy Hochul announced Wednesday.
The $600 million is leveraging the $800 million that Hochul secured in the most recent state budget to augment the final two years of its five-year, $34.3 billion capital plan.
“Investing in modern and reliable infrastructure is a central tenet of good government and something my administration has made a top priority. It also requires partnerships at all levels of government,” Onondaga County Executive Ryan McMahon said in the state’s announcement. “With today’s announcement, New York State continues its commitment to updating Route 5 - a critical thoroughfare in our community. Thank you to the State and all our partners who made this possible.”
