Pothole Relief for Staten Island Highways: Hochul Unveils Massive Statewide Road Repair Effort
The state will also invest more than $600 million in 180 paving projects as officials say a harsh winter damaged roads statewide.
- On Monday, Governor Kathy Hochul announced a statewide pothole repair initiative deploying 215 New York State Department of Transportation crews to fill at least 175,000 potholes during April using more than 8,000 tons of asphalt.
- Harsh winter weather, including heavy snowfall and repeated freeze-thaw cycles, significantly damaged New York roads by weakening pavements and creating ideal conditions for potholes to develop across the state.
- The state Department of Transportation will invest more than $600 million in more than 180 paving projects this season, with crews already filling more than 28,000 potholes since mid-February, officials said.
- Drivers can report potholes on state-owned highways by calling 1-800-POTHOLE, while New York City residents must dial 311; repairs will continue throughout spring and summer as weather improves.
- A broader five-year plan will fund resurfacing, bridge repairs, and reconstruction across the state's highway system, with officials expecting to resurface more than 4,000 lane miles through combined efforts.
