Over 250,000 pot-holes filled across New York during the month of April, DOT says

Over 250,000 pot-holes across New York were filled and patched up during the month of April, according to a joint announcement from the Governor’s Office and the DOT.

“Paving projects are underway in every region of the state and state crews will be out in force rejuvenating one of the largest state highway systems in the entire nation,” Governor Kathy Hochul said.

“We will keep at it, completing the ambitious mission to pave and improve more than 4,000 lane miles by the end of this year,” said New York State Department of Transportation Commissioner Marie Therese Dominguez.

Combined with repaving, officials say DOT crews laid more than 120,000 tons of asphalt on state roadways during the month of April.

Last October, the Governor announced record state investment to dozens of vital state roadways across New York State during the 2026 construction season.

Funded by its five-year Capital Plan, NYSDOT will invest more than $600 million in more than 180 paving projects across the state.
