JRCRUZ Corp. Begins Major $39M Project On New England Thruway in Westchester
ALBANY—New York State officials announced on June 4 the start of a $39.7 million pavement improvement project on the New England Thruway (I-95) between Mamaroneck and Rye in Westchester County. The project includes repairs and resurfacing within the heavily traveled corridor used by an average of approximately 120,000 vehicles daily.
The project will repair and resurface I-95 in both directions—from just past exit 18 (White Plains – Fenimore Road) to just before exit 20 (Rye-US Route 1 South), covering the stretch between mileposts 10.8 to 13.0 northbound. In the southbound direction, work will take place before exit 18B (White Plains—Mamaroneck Avenue) and exit 18 between mileposts 10.8 to 8.8.
Additional improvements will include installing precast concrete pavement slabs in select areas, guiderail and concrete barrier work, new pavement markings and two new overhead sign structures. Covering more than 12 lane miles, the project is expected to be completed by the end of 2027.
JRCRUZ Corp. of Holmdel, NJ, was selected as the project contractor following a competitive bidding process. Most of the work will be done overnight to reduce impacts to motorists. Motorists may encounter lane closures along with traffic shifts and stoppages during construction.
Counting the $135 million investment on the final, critical one-mile stretch of I-95 from exit 22 (Port Chester-Rye-Midland Avenue) to the Connecticut state line (milepost 14.1 to milepost 15.0), the Thruway Authority has spent more than $350 million to upgrade I-95 since 2018. Known as the “Last Mile,” the project reconstructed six lanes of I-95, realigned ramps, replaced two bridges and rehabilitated four more, added new drainage and noise walls, in addition to a number of other improvements. The project was completed in fall 2021.
New York State Thruway Authority Executive Director Frank G. Hoare said, “Since 2023, we have been laser-focused on our 15-mile stretch of I-95, launching three projects worth close to $200 million to resurface virtually all of its pavement along with rehabilitating numerous bridges and other infrastructure from the Bronx to Westchester. These highway investments enhance safety and resiliency.”
