The infrastructure work, consisting of a $17 million project along Route 100 (Central Avenue) and a $16 million project on Route 9A (Briarcliff-Peekskill Parkway), has officially begun, Hochul announced on Thursday, July 11.
The following stretches of both roads will be resurfaced as part of the projects:
- A 4.5-mile section of Route 100 from Underhill Avenue in Yonkers to the White Plains line;
- A 7.1-mile section of Route 9A from Route 133 in Ossining to Maiden Lane in Cortlandt.
The work aims to improve road conditions and increase safety for motorists while maintaining the durability of both roadways, officials said.
"Investing in and transforming infrastructure is a focus for my administration, and these projects in Westchester County exemplify this commitment," Hochul said, adding, "This is not just an investment to repave roadways, but an investment in our communities — enhancing public safety while improving mobility and the travel experience for the people who utilize these corridors.”
Both projects will include the milling of existing pavement and resurfacing it with a warm-mix fiber-reinforced asphalt overlay that is longer-lasting, more durable, and has reduced cracking.
Crews will then add grooved inlaid striping with reflective epoxy paint to increase the visibility of pavement markings during storms.
All roadwork will be done during nighttime hours with single-lane closures during pavement operations, officials said.
The northbound stretch of Route 100 is expected to be finished in Fall 2024, and the southbound stretch in Fall 2025. Meanwhile, work on Route 9A is expected to be done in Summer 2025.
