The Noxon Road project was one of 21 highway projects undertaken by the department this year.
“This year has been an impressive and productive season for our team at DPW. We are grateful for their efforts to work throughout the spring, summer and fall season to complete several roads, bridge, and paving projects on time and within or under budget. These improvements to our county roadway system will provide residents and visitors with a more safe, operational, and ridable way of travel throughout Dutchess County,” said County Executive Marc Molinaro.
Project work on Noxon Road began in July 2015 and included improvements to roadway alignment, installation of new drainage, construction of four-foot paved shoulders on both sides of Noxon Road, reconfiguration of new turning lanes and the installation of new traffic signals at the intersection of Noxon Road at Titusville Road.
This section of Noxon Road averages 11,000 vehicles per day. The total cost for the project was $6 million.
“The intersection of Noxon and Titusville Road is exceptionally busy. The recently completed work that included new equipment and upgrades to the roadway is critically important work that will ensure that this area is safe and easily navigable to the thousands of motorists who utilize these roadways,” said Chairman of the Dutchess County Legislature Dale Borchert.
