Parts Of Route 22 To Be Renewed With $2.4 Million From NY State

BREWSTER, NY — Two stretches of Route 22 are planned to be renewed as part of a $151 million New York State project for roadways affected by extreme weather events, Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Thursday. The cost of the two projects will total $2.4 million.

In all, the state will support 95 paving projects and the renewal of roughly 1,013 lane miles of pavement across the state, including at least one project in every county and New York City. This new funding, provided through the PAVE NY Initiative, complements $743 million in direct State aid provided for local road and bridge projects that renewed approximately 3,700 lane miles of road across New York State. The projects will begin in spring and be completed during the winter 2020.

About $22.7 million is designated for the Hudson Valley to renew 113.5 lane miles of roads in Westchester, Rockland, Putnam, Orange, Dutchess, Ulster and Sullivan counties.

In Putnam County:

• $1.9 million to renew Route 22 from Doansburg Road to Old Route 22
• $521,000 to renew Route 22 from Milltown Road to Overlook Lane
