As Winter Approaches in New York, Governor Hochul Announces $100 Million to Repave and Revitalize Hundreds of Miles of Roads Across New York

Governor Kathy Hochul today announced $100 million in funding for repaving projects in 68 locations across the state to help rejuvenate roadways impacted by New York's typical harsh winter weather. A total of 642 lane miles of state highways across every region of the State will be repaved under the State Department of Transportation's Harsh Winter Paving program, reflecting the Governor's ongoing commitment to further restoring and revitalizing New York's roads, especially those impacted by extreme weather.

"New York's roads face challenging conditions from extreme weather in all seasons, and this investment will help to rejuvenate some of the state highways most impacted by the harsh winter weather we see each year," Governor Hochul said. "I have been laser focused on creating a strong foundation for future economic growth in every region of the state since becoming Governor, and that begins with creating reliable infrastructure, which is foundational to the future of the New York that we are building, a future that is affordable, safe, and healthy for all residents."

The State Department of Transportation Commissioner highlighted the Governor's announcement today in Plattsburgh, touting these record paving investments and the Department's ongoing preparations for this year's snow and ice season. Thanks to a committed team that prepares year-round, the State Department of Transportation is fully prepared for this year's snow and ice season, which will be in full swing in the weeks and months ahead. These paving investments help ensure that New York State's highways remain safe and in good repair, while making it easier for Department staff to perform snow and ice operations across New York more effectively.

State Department of Transportation Commissioner Marie Therese Dominguez said, "New York has some of the harshest winter weather in the country and I'm pleased that Governor Hochul continues to recognize this by investing in resilient infrastructure projects across the state. As we wind down one of the most productive construction seasons in the Department of Transportation's history and transition to snow and ice season, our Department never loses focus. We continue to maintain a safe highway system while planning for the future. This investment by the Governor will lay a solid foundation for state roads across our vast highway system that will help the Empire State meet the challenges of the 21st century."

Last fall, the Governor announcedarecord state investment for dozens of vital state roadways across New York State during the 2026 construction season. Leveraging the $800 million secured in the FY26 Enacted Budget to augment the final two years of its five-year historic $34.5 billion Capital Plan, NYSDOT invested more than $600 million in more than 180 other paving projects across the state that are scheduled to be completed this year.

These projects, which totaled almost 2,150 lane miles, were in addition to the paving initiatives already scheduled as part of NYSDOT's core programs and, taken together, represented the most ambitious annual road resurfacing program conducted in state history, totaling more than 4,000 lane miles of renewed pavement to give New York drivers a smoother, safer ride.

Senator Charles Schumer said, "$20 million from my Bipartisan Infrastructure & Jobs Law is paving the way for improved safety and good-paying jobs, repairing cracks and modernizing state roadways across New York. With winter around the corner, investing resources to keep our highways resilient is crucial to safe travel for residents and visitors, and efficient movement of goods for our businesses. I'll never stop fighting to make sure that our roads are as safe and efficient as possible, and I'm thankful for Governor Hochul's work putting these federal dollars to good use."

Representative Joe Morelle said, "Safe, reliable roads are essential to keeping our communities connected and our economy moving. These investments will help improve road conditions, strengthen public safety, and make travel easier for families across Monroe County. I'm grateful to Governor Hochul for her continued commitment to investing in our region's infrastructure."

State Senator Jeremy Cooney said, "New Yorkers deserve safe roads year-round, and the Harsh Winter Paving program is critical to ensuring our state is prepared for the inclement weather. As Chair of the Transportation Committee, I know how important well-maintained roads are in preventing accidents, reducing car damage, and keeping our communities connected. I'm grateful for Governor Hochul's commitment to investing in New York's infrastructure and keeping our roads safe."

Assemblymember Michael Cashman said, "I am glad to see the North Country receive funding for these various roadway projects. Upkeeping roadways is more than just a convenience, it is an avenue for our first responders and emergency crews to respond to their calls to act. It is making sure members of the workforce can get to work safely and come back home at night. Public health and safety goes beyond direct medical care, it is also the basic essentials that keep our world moving forward."

Assemblymember William Magnarelli said, "With the change in seasons, we all know the toll winter takes on our roads. I want to thank Governor Hochul and Commissioner Dominguez for getting these critical projects going. They will make a difference for New York motorists."
