The $18.3 million project, which builds on an ongoing $250 million investment into Long Island roads, will begin in July 2024, Hochul said.
Sixty total lane miles across five state roads — three in Suffolk County and two in Nassau County — are included in the project, which will replace existing roadways with two inches of new asphalt, add new highly reflective pavement markings, and install crosswalks.
The following locations in Suffolk County are scheduled to start in July:
The Robert Moses Causeway between State Route 27A (Montauk Highway) and Ocean Parkway in the Town of Islip;
State Route 454 (Veterans Memorial Highway) between State Route 25 (Jericho Turnpike) and Old Willets Path in the Town of Smithtown; and
State Route 25 (Middle Country Road) between Suffolk County Route 83 (Patchogue-Mount Sinai Road) and Mount Sinai-Coram Road in the Town of Brookhaven.
They will remain in construction through the end of the year, Hochul said.
Then, in 2025, the following Nassau County locations, both in Hempstead, will see construction:
The Meadowbrook State Parkway between State Route 27 (Sunrise Highway) and Merrick Road; and
State Route 106 (Newbridge Road) between State Route 105 (Jerusalem Avenue) and State Route 24 (Hempstead Turnpike).
Additionally, over 130 sidewalk curb ramps on the Meadowbrook State Parkway, Route 25, Route 454, and Route 106 will be upgraded to be compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
“With every investment we make in our infrastructure, we are enhancing public safety and providing a better quality of life for people across Long Island,” Hochul said.
“Since day one, I have prioritized improving the durability of Long Island highways — we’ve seen the results already from the Long Island Expressway to the Northern State Parkway — and these projects continue our commitment to safe transportation for all.”
Most construction work will occur during off-peak hours to minimize disruption.
