Governor Kathy Hochul announced that resurfacing projects are getting underway on the Northern State Parkway and other key roadways on Long Island, representing a $36.2 million investment that will improve travel and enhance safety for hundreds of thousands of motorists in Nassau and Suffolk counties.
“New Yorkers deserve and demand quality roads and bridges that allow them to get where they need to go safely, efficiently and with a minimum of hassles,” Governor Hochul said. “These pavement projects will improve travel on some of Long Island’s busiest highways and give commuters a few less headaches during their commute.”
On the Northern State Parkway, the $18.5 million project will begin this week in the westbound lanes and continue through the end of the 2025 construction season. Major construction activities will take place during off-peak and overnight hours to reduce impacts to travel.
Reflective pavement markings will also be installed to increase visibility for drivers and more than 50 sidewalk ramps at parkway entrance and exit ramps will be upgraded to meet standards established by the American with Disabilities Act.
A $17.7 million project that will also renew key sections of the Sunrise Highway service roads and Route 25 in Suffolk County. This project will mill and resurface more than 60 lane miles of aging asphalt, beginning with the Sunrise Highway service roads from Manor Lane to Brentwood Road in the Town of Islip.
During 2026, work will take place at the following locations:
Route. 25 (Middle Country Road) from Route. 25A to Splish Splash Drive in the Town of Riverhead
Sunrise Highway South Service Road from Montauk Highway (Route. 85) to Nicolls Road (Route 97) in the Town of Islip
