For the second straight summer, Broome County will be conducting a record amount of roadwork. County Executive Jason Garnar joined Deputy Commissioner of Public Works Sue Brown on site of the latest project to highlight the work.

            “Repairing and replacing our infrastructure is always one of the biggest issues for our residents,” Garnar said. “Now, we’re investing in our roads and bridges like never before; we did a record number of miles of road last year and we’re topping it this year. Some of these roads haven’t been touched in years and our DPW crews are doing a great job to make the drive better for all travelers.”

            The 2022 highway reconstruction and rehabilitation plan includes more than 20 projects. Nearly 30 miles of roads will be milled and paved, while another 44 miles are scheduled to be sealed; a record total of more than 72 miles of roadways; a complete list of anticipated road projects can be found below. Weekly roadwork updates will be provided to help drivers plan their commute.

            Motorists are reminded to use caution in work zones, even when they are not active as some routes may be modified as construction progresses. Slowing down is always the most effective way to keep yourself and workers safe. You may also want to give yourself extra time during commutes to accommodate for any detours or changes in traffic patterns.
