WESTCHESTER- Governor Kathy Hochul announced the start of a $61.8 million pavement improvement project on a four-mile stretch of the New England Thruway I-95 in the Bronx and Westchester County. The majority of the work will take place in the Bronx and includes the rehabilitation of 11 bridges and the replacement of the superstructures – concrete decks and steel beams – of two pedestrian bridges. Approximately 120,000 vehicles use this heavily traveled corridor each day.
“New York State is committed to rehabilitating aging infrastructure in communities that have gone overlooked for far too long,” Governor Hochul said. “This project will make critical safety improvements to I-95 in the Bronx and Westchester County and provide not only a safer driving experience for the millions of New Yorkers who drive on the highway every year, but also modernize the state’s transportation infrastructure.”
The project will cover more than 24 highway miles and paving operations and the majority of work will take place overnight to reduce impacts to motorists. The work is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2024.
