Groundbreaking for Delaware Ave. stimulus project

Comments 0 | Recommend 0

Groundbreaking was held this morning for Albany's stimulus project rehab of Delaware Avenue.

Construction begins Monday, and will include curb, drainage, sidewalk, and utility work.

The project will reconstruct 1.6 miles of Delaware Avenue between Madison Avenue, and the bridge over the New York State Thruway that links Albany to Delmar.

At today's groundbreaking, the Governor announced he has also certified an additional 53 highway and bridge projects eligible for $100.5 million in federal recovery funding. Today's announcement brings the total number of certified highway and bridge projects in New York to 126, with a total cost of $519.6 million.

The projects are expected to bring 4,600 jobs to the state.
