BINGHAMTON, N.Y. — The Broome County Highway Division is wrapping up a record-setting roadwork season across Broome County that saw completed projects across 14 municipalities, County Executive Jason Garnar, Deputy Commissioner of Public Works Chet Kupiec, and other officials announced.
For the 2024 construction season, more than 84 miles of roadway was fixed including 48.5 miles of milling and paving and 35.5 miles of road sealing.
“For four straight years, we’ve increased the number of miles repaired, making our roads safer and more efficient for all who travel through Broome County,” Garnar said in a news release. “This year’s accomplishments would not have been possible without the support of Chairman Dan J. Reynolds, Legislator Matt Pasquale, the Broome County Legislature, along with our partners Assemblywoman [Donna] Lupardo and Senator [Leah] Webb, whose investment has allowed us to complete another record-breaking year.”
