Erie County leaders are touting a successful end to their 2025 road work season.
County Executive Mark Poloncarz says the county undertook $47.5 million worth of road projects this year.
That includes a $5.5 million rehabilitation of Maryvale Drive in Cheektowaga, and more projects are already in the works.
“2025 continued my administration’s history of significant investments in public infrastructure, improving our roads and bridges every year to give residents and motorists the best, safest routes we can. Over $47 million was invested this year alone, with 117 miles of roads and five bridges on this year’s docket, and I thank Commissioner Geary and our Public Works team for the tremendous job they’ve done,” Poloncarz said in a statement. “Just in the last five years alone we have invested over a quarter of a billion dollars in our roads and bridges, a testament to our ongoing commitment to getting this vital work done.”
“Over the next three years, thanks to the Bridge New York program, we’re going to be rebuilding 14 bridges,” Commissioner of Public Works Bill Geary said. “Those bridges cost anywhere from $2 million to up to $5 or $6 million.”
Officials say Erie County has invested over $250 million in road and bridge infrastructure projects since 2020.
