New York Gov. Kathy Hochul announced $100 million Tuesday for repaving projects at 68 locations statewide, including the Major Deegan Expressway in the Bronx and Route 347 on Long Island. The new work is scheduled to begin next spring.
The funding is part of the state Department of Transportation’s Harsh Winter Paving program and covers hundreds of lane miles of state highways, according to the governor’s November 10 release.
In New York City, $4 million is allocated to resurface the southbound Major Deegan Expressway, Interstate 87, from the city border to the Fordham Road overpass in the Bronx.
Long Island will receive $7 million to resurface Route 347 between Route 454 and Terry Road in the towns of Islip and Smithtown in Suffolk County.
The Mid-Hudson allocation totals $13.95 million. It includes $3.6 million for Route 207 between Sarah Wells Trail and Route 416 in Orange County; $1.2 million for Route 211 between Chandler Drive and Route 17K; and $4.8 million for Route 416 between Routes 207 and 211.
Other Mid-Hudson projects include $3.7 million for Route 301 from the Town of Kent line to Old Forge Road in Kent and Putnam Valley, and $562,000 for Route 42 from the Orange County line to Monticello in Sullivan County.
The governor’s announcement separates these future projects from the state’s existing 2026 resurfacing program. The $100 million list is a funding announcement for work beginning in spring 2027, not a notice that those repaving jobs are already underway.
