Stretch Of Union Avenue To Be Rebuilt In Harrison

HARRISON, NY — Part of Union Avenue will be rebuilt, including milling, resurfacing and concrete curb replacement. County Executive George Latimer said it was part of his plan to rebuild Westchester’s infrastructure.

“The roads in our Capital Program are oft-traveled and in need of repairs," Latimer said in the announcement. "With these repairs comes jobs, increased access to local destinations and peace of mind to Westchester’s commuters. Our infrastructure is in need of real investment and my Administration is providing it.”

The project in Harrison will cost $2.4 million and will fund the rehabilitation of 1.12 miles of roadway on Union Avenue in Harrison from West Street to Route 127. It is one of two projects in Harrison and Port Chester totaling $3.8 million.

County officials pointed out that Union Avenue is a main thoroughfare with two schools and two houses of worship.

County Legislator Nancy Barr represents the district and in early September requested funding for these projects be included in the 2020 Capital Project Budget.

"I'd like to thank County Executive George Latimer for including these projects in the 2020 capital budget," Barr said. "These are crucial roadways for the people in my district. The stretch of Union Avenue in Harrison set for repair leads to two public schools and houses of worship; and Willet Avenue in Port Chester is a heavily trafficked road whose repair is long overdue. I'm proud that the County Executive and Board of Legislators have made repairing our infrastructure a top priority."
