State Helps Fund Lindy Road Projects

Two local roadway improvement projects will move forward thanks to funding from New York State.

The Village of Lindenhurst will be receiving $100,000 from Albany to help pay for repaving and other improvements to North Wellwood Avenue. The funding will also be used to help cover the costs for a second improvement project on North Indiana Street.

“This funding will be directly utilized to improve vehicular and pedestrian safety on these two streets," said Thomas Brennan, Lindenhurst’s Mayor.

According to Village officials, the funding will help finalize the North Wellwood Avenue improvement project between Kane Street and Newark Street. This is the final phase of efforts by the Village to improve North Wellwood from Newark Street to Hoffman Avenue.

The improvement project on North Indiana will stretch from East John Street to Byrd Street.

“These public improvement projects will help the Village of Lindenhurst continue to repair its roadways and enhance the quality of life for residents,” said State Sen. Charles Fuschillo, R-Merrick, who along with State Sen. Phil Boyle, R-Bay Shore, helped secure the funding for Lindenhurst.
