Two major pavement restoration projects will begin in Westchester County next year, according to an announcement from Governor Kathy Hochul. The New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) will include these initiatives as part of its Hudson Valley paving program, focusing on key stretches of State Routes 133 and 100B.

State Route 133 serves as a commuter link to the Taconic State Parkway and is important for access within Westchester’s transportation network. State Route 100B provides a connection between New York City and the Hudson Valley, facilitating movement for goods and commuters.

Governor Hochul stated, “New York is paving our roads and giving drivers a smoother journey at a faster pace than ever. These are critical roads in Westchester County that thousands of travelers depend on every day, and we are pleased to accelerate these projects in next year’s New York State DOT paving program. Commuters and residents spoke, and we are listening — drivers can look forward to a smoother ride next year.”

The decision to advance these projects follows investment secured by Senator Andrea Stewart-Cousins and input from community members. The plan includes resurfacing a 2.5-mile segment of State Route 133 between Pleasantville Road and State Route 100 through Ossining Village, Ossining Town, and New Castle. Another project will cover a 1.4-mile section of State Route 100B from State Route 9A (Saw Mill River Road) to the Sprain Brook Parkway in Greenburgh.

Both projects involve milling and resurfacing with warm-mix fiber-reinforced asphalt designed for durability and reduced cracking. Reflective epoxy paint will be used for pavement markings to improve visibility during storms.

Additional improvements on State Route 133 at Campwoods Road include upgrading the traffic signal, adding a crosswalk, ensuring ADA compliance at the intersection, and making drainage upgrades to help maintain road quality and manage stormwater runoff.

Construction is scheduled to begin during next year’s paving season, with most work taking place at night to reduce disruptions. Single lane closures are expected during paving operations. Completion is targeted for the end of the 2026 construction season; however, some work on Route 133 may extend into 2027.

NYSDOT Commissioner Marie Therese Dominguez said, “The Hudson Valley has some of the oldest and most heavily utilized roads in the State of New York. Recognizing this, Governor Kathy Hochul has demonstrated her commitment to renewing New York’s roads with historic investments that are enhancing safety and providing smoother rides for travelers all across the state. By adding these two critically important Hudson Valley paving projects to next year’s capital program, we are taking that commitment to a new level – always looking to address the needs of local commuters.”

Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins commented, “Investing in safe and reliable infrastructure has long been one of my top priorities. The funding I secured for the resurfacing of State Routes 133 and 100B will enhance safety, ease congestion, and ensure smoother travel for the thousands of Westchester residents and commuters who rely on these critical roadways each day. I thank Governor Hochul and the Department of Transportation for their partnership as we continue to invest in our transportation network and keep Westchester moving forward.”

State Senator Pete Harckham said, “I want to thank Governor Hochul for including Route 133 in the DOT paving program. This investment is welcome news not only for drivers but for residents and local businesses that rely on this vital roadway every day. Repaving this road would support our local economy and ensure the safety of thousands of motorists. I’m grateful for everyone’s partnership in helping to move this important project forward.”

Assemblymember MaryJane Shimsky added: “Traveling Route 100B (Dobbs Ferry Road) in the Town of Greenburgh has become a difficult experience for drivers, and a navigational challenge for those who use this county bus route. At my request, my staff and I drove the road with regional representatives from DOT in September to discuss its evident need for repair. I am thrilled to see that repaving 100B has been accelerated to next year. I thank Governor Hochul and our colleagues at DOT for moving this much-needed project forward.”

Westchester County Executive Ken Jenkins expressed gratitude: “We are grateful to Governor Kathy Hochul, Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, State Senator Pete Harckham, Assemblymember MaryJane Shimsky and Assemblymember Dana Levenberg for their continued commitment to Westchester County’s infrastructure and quality of life. These improvements to State Routes 133 and 100B will make a real difference for our residents, commuters, and local businesses who depend on these roadways every day. By investing in safer, smoother, and more resilient roads, the State is helping ensure Westchester remains connected, accessible, and ready for the future.”

New Castle Supervisor Victoria Tripp said: “I am deeply grateful to Governor Hochul, Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, and Commissioner Dominguez for recognizing the critical need to restore key stretches of State Routes 133 and 100B… Thanks to everyone’s collaboration we can look forward to safer roads.”

Greenburgh Town Supervisor Paul Feiner commented: ”I am so grateful that NYS will be repaving 100 B next year… Addressing infrastructure is important.”

Ossining Mayor Rika Levin said: “We are deeply grateful…for prioritizing the resurfacing of Route 133… This investment will enhance safety [and] improve daily commutes.”

According to its mission statement provided by NYSDOT: The agency aims “to provide a safe, reliable equitable [and] resilient transportation system that connects communities…and supports economic well-being.”
