Although it’s finally spring, Long Island roads are still littered with potholes.  It has been an unusually rough winter.  Fortunately, drivers will finally find some relief.  Local governments on Long Island will get almost $4 million in new state aid to fix the roadways this year.

This aid is on top of the $75 million budget increase made to the Consolidated Highway Improvement Program (CHIPS) last year.  The money will be distributed throughout Nassau and Suffolk Counties and their localities.

Governor Andrew Cuomo expressed concern regarding the damage to many local roads and bridges.  He declared a state of emergency on 8 separate occasions this winter.  Although the money will be used to fix the current road situation, Cuomo hopes that it can also be used to help brace the roadway surface for future storms.
