ALBANY—New York State announced on Dec. 4 that the Mid-Hudson Region is slated to receive $16.5 million to enhance the resiliency of highways as part of a $100-million state program to upgrade pavement that has been impacted by extreme weather.

With funding from the Infrastructure and Jobs Act, a total of 551 lane miles of highways at 70 locations in every region will be repaved to revamp and revitalize New York’s aging infrastructure.

• A total of $16.5 million will support four pavement projects in the Mid-Hudson Region. NYSDOT officials stated the paving projects would begin in the spring of 2025:
• $7.5 million to resurface the Taconic State Parkway from Route 55 to Tyrrel Road in the towns of Pleasant Valley and Lagrange in Dutchess.
• $3.5 million to resurface Route 312 from west of the Metro North Railroad to Route 22 in the Town of Southeast in Putnam.
