Route 304 Repaving Project to Begin This Spring

New York State Senator Bill Weber was joined on March 6 by Clarkstown Town Supervisor George Hoehmann, members of the Clarkstown Town Board and Legislator Will Kennelly  to announce that the long-anticipated repaving of State Route 304 is scheduled to begin this spring, representing a $16 million infrastructure investment following sustained advocacy by Senator Weber’s office.

NYSDOT has confirmed plans to begin a milling and resurfacing project along Route 304 from the pavement joint south of West Nyack Road to U.S. Route 9W. Construction will take place during the spring 2026 construction season and will be performed overnight to minimize disruptions to motorists and nearby businesses.

“For years, residents have raised concerns about the poor condition of Route 304,” said Senator Weber. “The potholes, uneven pavement, and overall safety of the roadway have been a constant complaint. I am pleased to see this $16 million investment moving forward and to know that relief is on the way for the thousands of drivers who rely on this road every day.”

Senator Weber noted that his office began advocating several years ago for improvements to the roadway in response to concerns from constituents and local officials. With construction now scheduled to begin in the coming weeks, the Senator emphasized that the project reflects the results of persistent engagement with state transportation officials.

“We pushed for this project because our residents deserve safe and reliable infrastructure,” Weber said. “Route 304 is finally being paved, and I am proud that our advocacy helped make this $16 million project a reality.”

According to NYSDOT, the project will include milling the existing roadway surface and applying a new asphalt overlay. The work will also include targeted concrete repairs, monitoring of drainage conditions, restoration of pavement markings, and the installation of audible roadway delineators to enhance safety for motorists.

Senator Weber also highlighted additional infrastructure improvements in the 38th Senate district, including a $9 million improvement project on Route 303 from Al Foxie Way to Route 9W in the Towns of Clarkstown and Orangetown. That project is currently underway and is expected to be completed by next winter.

“Safe roads are not a luxury — they are essential to our daily lives, our local economy, and the well-being of our community,” Senator Weber said. “I will continue working with state and local partners to ensure that Rockland County receives the infrastructure investment it deserves.”
