Project Includes Repairs and Resurfacing to Heavily Traveled Section of Highway
All Work to Take Place Overnight to Limit Traffic Impacts
Project Scheduled to Be Completed in Fall 2022
Governor Kathy Hochul today announced the start of a $17.8 million pavement improvement project on the New York State Thruway (I-87/I-287) in Rockland County. The work will cover a nearly eight-mile stretch from the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge in South Nyack to just beyond exit 14A (Spring Valley - Nanuet - NY Route 59) in Ramapo.
"The lower Hudson Valley region is a critical artery for commerce and drivers traveling to and from New York City and beyond," Governor Hochul said. "This investment will help ensure a safer, smoother ride for the tens of thousands of Thruway travelers using this section each day. My administration is laser focused on creating the infrastructure of the future by enhancing travel connections, restoring essential roads and bridges, and building back better and stronger than ever before."
The project includes renewing the pavement by performing mill and inlay operations to a two-inch depth from milepost 16.4 to milepost 24 northbound and southbound, including five interchange ramps from South Nyack (exit 10) to Spring Valley (exit 14). Additional work includes adding more reflective line striping, new signs and drainage improvements. Crisdel Group, Inc. is the project contractor following a competitive bidding process.
All of the work will take place overnight to limit impacts to traffic and is expected to be completed by late Fall 2022. Motorists may encounter lane closures on the Thruway along with traffic shifts and stoppages while construction is underway. All work is weather dependent and subject to change. Motorists are urged to be alert and follow the posted work zone speed limits and are reminded that fines are doubled for speeding in a work zone. In accordance with the Work Zone Safety Act of 2005, convictions of two or more speeding violations in a work zone could result in the suspension of an individual's driver license.
