Albany Update – Yonkers Contracting Completes Nearly $45M Pavement Improvement Project on Section of NYS Thruway
ALBANY—New York State officials recently reported the completion of a $44.6-million pavement improvement project on the New York State Thruway I-87 in a critical corridor spanning Rockland and Orange counties used by approximately 92,000 vehicles each day.
Starting last May, Yonkers Contracting Co., Inc., the project contractor, conducted full-depth pavement repairs that involved work crews removing and replacing the most deteriorated portions on a nearly 10-mile stretch of roadway (from milepost 29.4 to 38.7) in both directions, covering approximately 60 total lane miles and improving the structural integrity of the roadway. Crews installed a new two-course asphalt overlay to provide a smoother ride for motorists, installed new guiderails, and upgraded drainage systems and culverts, state officials said.
