Governor Kathy Hochul announced that work has begun on three infrastructure projects along key roadways in the Hudson Valley, representing a $9.1 million investment to restore pavement and improve travel along key stretches of State Route 100A and State Route 134 in Westchester County and U.S. Route 9W in Ulster County. These projects will boost safety and mobility for roadway users while supporting statewide sustainability efforts and furthering the long-term durability of the Hudson Valley’s infrastructure.
“As construction season is in full swing all across New York, the Department of Transportation continues its commitment to sound infrastructure investments that make a difference for residents and visitors in the Hudson Valley and statewide,” Governor Hochul said. “These investments will restore the surface of three key roadways, providing a strong foundation for a reliable transportation network in one of the state’s busiest regions.”
New York State Department of Transportation Commissioner Marie Therese Dominguez said, “DOT is working diligently to modernize the infrastructure in the Hudson Valley and throughout New York State, and these repaving projects are examples of the work we are doing to improve the travel experience and enhance public safety for all travelers along these key corridors, ensuring the economic prosperity of surrounding communities.”
The work includes a $4.9 million 2.7-mile section of State Route 100A, also known as Knollwood Road, between State Route 100B and State Route 100C/100 (Grasslands Road), in the Village of Elmsford and Town of Greenburgh, Westchester County. State Route 100A provides vital connections to Interstate 287-also known as the Cross Westchester Expressway-and the Sprain Brook Parkway.
Also included is a $2 million project to resurface a two-mile stretch of State Route 134 from State Route 9A in the Town of Ossining to the Town of New Castle line, Westchester County. State Route 134 serves as an important local route, providing access to the Croton Reservoir and the Taconic State Parkway.
Additionally, a $2.2 million project will resurface a 4.7-mile stretch of U.S. Route 9W between Canal Street in the Hamlet of Port Ewen and State Route 32 in the Town of Ulster, Ulster County. Also included in this project are the ramps at Delaware Avenue. U.S. Route 9W, which runs along the west side of the Hudson River stretches south to Newburgh and Bear Mountain and north to the Kingston-Rhinecliff bridge and Albany, connecting to historic areas like West Point and the Catskills along the way.
Each project consists of milling and resurfacing the existing pavement with a warm-mix fiber-reinforced asphalt overlay that’s longer-lasting, and more durable to minimize cracking. Grooved inlaid striping with reflective epoxy paint will also be added to increase the visibility of pavement markings during storms. Additionally, traffic signals will be upgraded, drainage improvements will be included in the project, and curb ramps, where present, will be made compliant with current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) guidance.
These projects were designed to minimize impacts to the travelling public with a majority of the work being conducted during nighttime hours with single lane closures during paving operations. These projects are anticipated to be complete at the end of the 2025 construction season.
