The New York State Thruway Authority announced a major $61.8 million pavement rehabilitation and safety enhancement project on I-190 in Buffalo and Cheektowaga.
The work will take place between exit 1 (South Ogden Street – Dingens Street) and exit 5 (Hamburg Street – Louisiana Street) in both directions. The Thruway Authority said an average of 78,000 vehicles travel this 3.5-mile stretch each day and severe delays are expected throughout the project, which is expected to be completed in late 2028.
“The project covers approximately 21 lane miles and includes full and partial depth repairs to existing concrete to restore deteriorating portions of the roadway as well as a new asphalt riding surface,” a release says. “Crews will also resurface the interchange ramps and bridges within the area of the project. Additionally, the vertical clearance at each bridge will be increased, repairs will be made to bridge decks and bridge joints will be replaced. Other safety improvements include new overhead lighting, guiderail and signage.”…
