This portion of Route 20, from near Schoolcraft Street looking west to Route 146, where potholes and cracks in the pavement are visible, is slated to be repaved next spring.
GUILDERLAND — Among the $100 million in funding meant to renew state roads affected by extreme weather, $1.4 million has been allocated to resurface Route 20 in Guilderland from Route 146 to Schoolcraft Street.
Schoolcraft Street runs next to the historic Schoolcraft House in the Guilderland hamlet.
Work is to begin next spring.
“From a devastating blizzard to historic flooding, we are living in a time of record-breaking weather events which have left many roads across New York State in need of repair and rejuvenation,” Governor Kathy Hochul said in a Monday release, announcing the funding, which will pave almost 568 lane miles at 66 locations across New York.
“This $100 million will lengthen the lifespan of dozens of roads across the state,” the governor went on, “making them more resilient in the face of future extreme weather conditions.”
“I’m proud to help deliver this funding boosted by our Bipartisan Infrastructure & Jobs Law,” Majority Leader Charles Schumer said in the release.
The current $32.9 billion State Department of Transportation five-year capital plan, inclusive of federal formula funds from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, provides funding for road and bridge repair and modernization.
