Work has begun on a $21.8 million project to resurface a section of roadway on Interstate 88 from the town of Maryland to the town of Worcester in Otsego County, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul announced.
The work, which spans from exit 18 to exit 19, will restore a smooth–riding surface to support traffic between the Southern Tier and the Capital Region, the governor’s office contended in a news release.
