YATES – A section of Route 18 will be repaved, one of 68 paving projects around the state, Gov. Kathy Hochul announced today.

The repaving will be on Route 18 from the Niagara County line to oak orchard Creek, covering Yates and part of Carlton. It will cost $81,000, according to the governor’s office.

Other nearby projects include:

$2 million to resurface Route 5 (Main Street) within the Village of LeRoy and Route 19 (Clay Street) from the south village line to Randall Road in the Town of LeRoy and Village of LeRoy, Genesee County.
$2 million to resurface Route 19 from Route 31 to Route 104, and Route 31 from Redman Road to the Sweden Corners Plaza entrance east of Route 19 in the Village of Brockport and the Towns of Sweden and Clarkson in Monroe County.

Hochul announced $100 million in funding for repaving projects in 68 locations across the state to help rejuvenate roadways impacted by the harsh winter weather. A total of 642 lane miles of state highways across every region of the state will be repaved under the State Department of Transportation’s “Harsh Winter Paving” program.

“New York’s roads face challenging conditions from extreme weather in all seasons, and this investment will help to rejuvenate some of the state highways most impacted by the harsh winter weather we see each year,” Hochul said.
