After two years of construction, a major project to update State Route 390 in Monroe County is finished.
On Monday, Gov. Kathy Hochul announced the completion of the $19.4 million investment that rehabilitated 17 lane miles along 390 between Lexington Avenue and State Route 104 (Ridge Road) in the towns of Gates and Greece.
In addition to smoothing pavement, the governor's office says the project greatly enhanced the durability and lifespan of the six bridges that carry the highway over Lexington Avenue, Weiland Road and Latona Road by:
- Installing new decks on all six bridges, while utilizing higher-performance internal cure concrete on the structures which reduces cracking and permeability and extends the lifespan of the bridges
- Installing epoxy-coated steel reinforcement bars to prevent corrosion
- Placing new, high-strength concrete bridge barriers that protect motorists in the event of a collision
Officials say ramps were also updated as well as traffic signals in the area.
“Major travel corridors like State Route 390 are the anchors of our regional economies – spurring investment and expansion in the Finger Lakes and beyond,” Gov. Hochul said. “My administration is delivering historic investments in infrastructure to ensure the long-term viability of our communities and to catalyze growth and innovation across New York State.”
Hochul's office says the project began in April 2022 and builds upon a nearly $192 million investment in recent years along the corridor, including the recently completed I-390/I-490 interchange project.
This stretch of 390 accommodates around 80,000 drivers per day.
