Governor Kathy Hochul today announced that resurfacing projects are getting underway on the Northern State Parkway and other key roadways on Long Island, representing a $36.2 million investment that will improve travel and enhance safety for hundreds of thousands of motorists in Nassau and Suffolk counties. Work will begin Monday on a project to renew approximately 50 lane miles of asphalt pavement on the Northern State Parkway from the New York Avenue overpass (Exit 40) in the Town of Huntington to the Wantagh State Parkway (Exit 33) in the Village of Westbury. Additionally, pavement restoration will also be taking place along key sections of the Sunrise Highway (State Route 27) service roads and State Route 25 in Suffolk County. The paving projects demonstrate Governor Hochul’s steadfast commitment to build back New York State’s transportation infrastructure to meet the challenges of the 21st Century and improve quality of life for all New Yorkers.
“New Yorkers deserve and demand quality roads and bridges that allow them to get where they need to go safely, efficiently and with a minimum of hassles,” Governor Hochul said. “These pavement projects will improve travel on some of Long Island’s busiest highways and give commuters a few less headaches to contend with as they go about their busy days.”
New York State Department of Transportation Commissioner Marie Therese Dominguez said, “Thanks to Governor Hochul’s leadership, New York State is making historic investments in infrastructure on Long Island keeping people and our economy on the move. These paving projects will provide smoother riding surfaces along some of Long Island’s most heavily traveled roadways and make the daily commute a little easier for hundreds of thousands of motorists who use these roads every day.”…
