Argenio Brothers Begins $30 Million Project to Modernize Routes 17A, 94 in Orange County
ALBANY—New York State officials announced on June 6 that work was beginning on a multi-faceted project to construct a roundabout, replace multiple culverts and resurface State Routes 17A and 94 in the towns of Warwick and Goshen and the villages of Warwick, Florida and Goshen in Orange County.
In an area known for its apple festivals, black dirt farms, harness racing and unique shopping experiences, this multi-community $30-million project is designed to enhance traffic flow, prevent flooding, increase infrastructure resiliency and enhance pedestrian facilities to meet the needs of this growing county in the Hudson Valley.
CONSTRUCTION NEWS reported in its March 2025 edition that Argenio Brothers was the lowest of five bidders at $30,322,380.00 for various rehabilitations/improvements and culvert replacements on NYS Routes 94 and17A at various locations in Orange County.
The project promises to create a state-of-the-art roundabout, miles of multi-modal access to town and village centers and serve the growth for future tourism.
The centerpiece of the project will be the 14 miles of roadway resurfacing, which will take place along State Routes 94/17A from the New Jersey state line to the Town of Goshen and State Route 94 to Durland Road. Striping with reflective epoxy paint will be added to increase the visibility of pavement markings during storms, further enhancing safety. Traffic signals and curb ramps at adjacent exits and entrances will also be upgraded, state officials noted.
Additionally, the project will construct a roundabout with decorative street lighting along State Route 94 at County Route 1A and Reservoir Road in the Town of Warwick to realign this intersection. The new roundabout will feature native landscaping and will be designed to reduce potential conflict points that motorists and pedestrians encounter, while creating fewer traffic backups. New crosswalks, sidewalks and other pedestrian accommodations will also improve access to nearby destinations.
Upgrades to traffic signals, new crosswalks, sidewalk curb ramps, accessible pedestrian signal equipment, drainage and the implementation of new lane configurations will occur at the following intersections: State Route 94 at 17A, State Route 94 at Colonial Avenue, State Route 94 at Meadow Road and State Route 94 at Reservoir Road.
Staged construction is expected to include lane shifts, limited daily lane closures and minor detours. The project is scheduled for completion in the summer of 2027.
