Legislator Leslie Kennedy’s office has announced that the Suffolk County Department of Public Works has selected Deal Concrete Corp. and Rosemar Contracting, Inc. to lead the long-awaited Townline Road rehabilitation project.
The pavement overhaul, championed and facilitated by Kennedy, will span from Blydenburgh Road in Hauppauge to Jackson Road in Nesconset. The project aims to resurface worn pavement, repair damaged sections, and replace aging infrastructure to improve both vehicle and pedestrian safety throughout the corridor.
In addition to repaving, the project will include new drainage structures, curb and sidewalk modifications, and upgraded pedestrian crossings. Traffic safety enhancements, including ADA-compliant ramps and improved visibility features, are planned to ensure safe passage for all residents and commuters. Wherever necessary, utility valve and manhole adjustments will also be implemented, reducing the likelihood of future disruptions.
“This section of road has gotten really bad in the past year,” Kennedy said. “These improvements are well planned and will make a drastic, positive change for Townline Road and all those who drive on it. It’s a necessary investment in the safety and quality of life for everyone in the community.”
Officials note that this capital project reflects ongoing efforts to modernize Suffolk County’s roadways while maintaining long-term durability. By addressing both surface conditions and underlying infrastructure, the improvements are expected to reduce future maintenance costs and enhance travel reliability for residents and local businesses alike.
Construction is expected to begin shortly, with completion anticipated in the spring of 2026. During the project, drivers may encounter temporary lane closures and traffic detours, but officials assure the public that safety measures and signage will be in place to minimize inconvenience.
Once finished, Townline Road will feature smoother pavement, safer crossings, and modernized infrastructure, providing a safer, more efficient route for daily commuters and a lasting benefit to the community.
