New York investing $46.9M in infrastructure improvements across the Finger Lakes

More than $46 million in investments are being made to improve infrastructure in the Finger Lakes region.

Gov. Kathy Hochul’s office says the money will rehabilitate bridges, restore road surfaces, reconfigure intersections and make other improvements to revitalize communities and grow the economy. It will also enhance safety and improve mobility for drivers, pedestrians and cyclists, according to the governor’s office.

“Modernizing our transportation infrastructure is vital to ensuring that all the communities of New York State stay connected and continue to grow and prosper,” Hochul said. “These investments in the Finger Lakes will increase mobility, reduce congestion, create more resilient roads and bridges and make it easier for motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians to get around one of the most beautiful regions of our state.”

Part of that funding will go toward the ongoing $26.7 million project to rehabilitate pavement between exits 8 and 10 of Interstate 390 in Livingston County as crews work to complete that work later this year. This project builds on the Department of Transportation’s previous $35 million investment in the pavement between exits 10 and 12 along I-390.

Additional investments in the Finger Lakes region this year include:

• $6 million to rehabilitate bridges carrying I-390 over Commerce Drive in the Town of North Dansville, Livingston County
• $4.8 million to continue last year’s work rehabilitating pavement along State Route 31 from the Monroe County-Wayne County line to the Hamlet of Macedon, Wayne County
• $3.6 million to upgrade the interchange between State Route 386 (Scottsville Road) and I-390 in the Town of Chili, Monroe County
• $2.6 million to enhance the intersection of State Route 18 (Latta Road) and North Greece Road in the Town of Greece, Monroe County
• $1.8 million to improve State Route 31 between State Route 19 and Transit Way in the Town of Sweden, Monroe County
• $1.4 million to rehabilitate State Route 5&20 from Lake Street in the City of Geneva, Ontario County to the Ontario County-Seneca County line
