SOUTHERN TIER, N.Y. (WBNG) — On Tuesday, Nov. 10, Gov. Kathy Hochul announced $100 million for repaving projects at 68 locations across New York.
State officials said $13.56 million was awarded for work in the Southern Tier.
“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 New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) says 642 lane miles of state highways across every region will be repaved through its Harsh Winter Paving program.
In the Southern Tier, the announcement identifies 103 lane miles of paving:
NYSDOT Commissioner Marie Therese Dominguez highlighted the funding announcement in Plattsburgh along with the department’s preparations for the snow and ice season. The department says the paving work will help crews carry out snow and ice operations.
“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,” Dominguez said. “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.”
NYSDOT said it invested more than $600 million in more than 180 other paving projects scheduled for completion during the 2026 construction season, covering nearly 2,150 lane miles. Those projects are in addition to work scheduled through the department’s regular programs.
A complete list of paving projects, scheduled to begin in spring 2027, is available on the governor’s website .
