The New York State Department of Transportation has started a major paving project on the Scajaquada Expressway, a key transportation artery in Western New York. The $4.6 million project aims to improve the road's surface and safety.
"We are committed to providing safe and reliable transportation infrastructure for the people of New York State," said a DOT spokesperson. The project will involve repaving and repairing the expressway, which runs through the heart of Buffalo.
The Scajaquada Expressway is a critical route for commuters and commercial vehicles, and the paving project will help to reduce congestion and improve travel times. Buffalo residents and businesses will benefit from the improved infrastructure, which will also support economic growth and development. The project is expected to be completed by the end of 2026, with work being done in phases to minimize disruptions to traffic. The DOT is working closely with local officials and stakeholders to ensure the project is completed on time and within budget. Delaware Avenue and Parkside Avenue will be affected by the construction, with detours and lane closures in place.
The Buffalo City Council is monitoring the project's progress and is working to ensure that the city's infrastructure needs are met. A public meeting is scheduled for next month to discuss the project's details and timeline.
