$75 Million Statewide Accelerated Paving Project
Includes Section of Route 12
06/22/15 09:25pm

    Albany-  Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today announced resurfacing projects
    totaling $75 million will be completed this year on approximately 428 lane miles
    of state highways across New York. Funding for these projects was
    accelerated into this construction season in order to repair widespread damage
    from deep frost over the winter.

    “It’s important to keep the state’s highways in top shape, and after another
    harsh winter, we’re expediting critical repair projects to ensure the roads are
    safer for New Yorkers,” Governor Cuomo said. “This funding will speed up
    much-needed resurfacing and rebuilding efforts, which is good for motorists
    across the state.”

    These accelerated paving projects are in addition to more than $437 million in
    capital construction funds dedicated to paving an estimated 2,311 miles of
    state roads in the 2015-2016 State Fiscal Year.

    Depending on the location, the New York State Department of Transportation’s
    resurfacing projects will include paving over sections of rough road, removing
    the worn top layer of pavement from all travel lanes and shoulders, repairing
    base concrete and/or asphalt and installing a new asphalt riding surface.
    Wherever practical, pavement that is removed will be recycled and reused,
    either at the same location or in future construction. Traffic signal vehicle
    detectors will be replaced and new pavement markings will be installed as
    needed.

    Accelerated paving projects will take place on the following roadways in the
    North Country:

    Route 3 from Lake Street to the George Lapan Memorial Highway in Saranac
    Lake, Franklin County

    Route 12 from the West Lowville line to the Denmark town line in Lewis County

    Route 812 from County Road 24 in the hamlet of Balmat to Route 58 in the
    hamlet of Fowler in St. Lawrence County

    “Strong roads are critical to the safety of New York residents and to our North
    Country economy,” said Congresswoman Elise Stefanik, (R-NY-21). “I
    commend Governor Cuomo for prioritizing this project that will help strengthen
    our North Country infrastructure and promote local commerce.”
