Smoother, Safer Roads Coming To New York State
Under a new proposal from New York State Governor Kathy Hochul, the New York State Department of Transportation will focus on several major roads this upcoming Spring, making them safer and smoother by filling in the potholes that form after Winter.
According to the Governor, 215 different crews from the State DOT will spend the month of April placing more than 8,000 tons of asphalt to fill an anticipated 175,000 potholes statewide. Plans are also in place from the State to use the State DOT to fill hundreds of thousands more as the weather permits over the next several months as well.
