Assemblyman Matt Slater (R,C-Yorktown) and Sen. Pete Harckham (40th Senatorial District) today announced the official start of construction on a long-awaited repaving project along Route 312 in the Town of Southeast. The state-funded project, which had been announced in December 2024, will resurface the stretch from just west of the Metro-North Railroad grade crossing to the intersection with Route 22.
Funded with $2 million in state resources, this phase of the Route 312 repaving project is part of New York’s broader effort to improve roads across the Hudson Valley and ensure fundamental infrastructure is safe and drivable year-round.
“This is a major win for drivers in Putnam County who rely on Route 312 every day,” said Slater. “We made a commitment last year to get this done, and I’m proud to see the work officially underway on this aging stretch of roadway. I’ll keep advocating for the investments our towns need to support families, local businesses and a better quality of life. Thanks to Sen. Harckham for being a strong partner in helping to move this project forward.”
The scope of the work includes resurfacing approximately three miles of Route 312, as well as drainage improvements where feasible. Construction is expected to continue through the fall, with substantial completion projected by December 1, 2025, at which point the roadway will be fully open and accessible to the public with enhanced safety and drivability.
“The Route 312 repaving project will benefit thousands of local residents, commuters and business owners who rely on this critical high-volume traffic artery, which is very badly deteriorated,” said Harckham. “I am happy to have partnered with Assemblyman Slater to make this project a priority with the Department of Transportation so it can benefit residents, as well as our vital local economy. We will continue to do all we can to ensure that our roads get fixed.”
The repaving project had originally been announced as part of a $3.5 million infrastructure investment by the state, with work planned in phases to address drainage, resurfacing and traffic signal upgrades as needed.
