2 'Critical' Roadwork Projects Slated For Westchester In 2026, Governor Announces

WESTCHESTER COUNTY, NY — The governor announced plans to smooth the commute for Westchester County drivers, but it will take some work.

Governor Kathy Hochul announced on Wednesday that the NYS Department of Transportation will be adding paving projects to its Hudson Valley paving program in 2026, along two key roadways in Westchester County.

The work aims to restore pavement and improve travel along key stretches of State Routes 133 and 100B.

State Route 133 provides a connection to the Taconic State Parkway and access to Westchester's large transportation network, while State Route 100B serves as an important local route, providing access to the key north/south transportation corridor between NYC and the Hudson Valley.

"New York is paving our roads and giving drivers a smoother journey at a faster pace than ever," Governor Hochul said. "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 work includes a 2.5-mile section of State Route 133, between Pleasantville Road and State Route 100, in the Village of Ossining and the Towns of Ossining and New Castle.

Also included is a project to resurface a 1.4-mile stretch of State Route 100B, from State Route 9A, also known as Saw Mill River Road, to the Sprain Brook Parkway, in the Town of Greenburgh.

The NYSDOT says the projects will consist of milling and resurfacing the existing pavement with a warm-mix fiber-reinforced asphalt overlay that is longer-lasting, more durable and will minimize cracking. Grooved inlaid striping with reflective epoxy paint will also be added to increase the visibility of pavement markings during storms, according to NYSDOT.

In addition, the traffic signal along State Route 133 at Campwoods Road will be upgraded, a new crosswalk will be added, and the intersection will be made compliant with current ADA guidelines. The project will also include drainage improvements to improve roadway integrity, control erosion, and manage stormwater runoff.

The projects are fully designed to engineering standards and construction will begin during 2026's paving season, according to NYSDOT. Impacts to drivers will be minimized with most work taking place during nighttime hours, and single-lane closures in effect during paving operations.

The work is expected to be completed at the end of the 2026 construction season, with part of the State Route 133 work possibly continuing into 2027.

"The Hudson Valley has some of the oldest and most heavily utilized roads in the State of New York," New York State Department of Transportation Commissioner Marie Therese Dominguez said,. "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."
