03/23/08 - Route 219 Extension in NYS DOT Plan
Extension of the Route 219 expressway and construction of a new Peace Bridge are included in the New York State Department of Transportation’s five-year capital plan. The state plan lists $90 million to cover the state’s share of the Peace Bridge project and $83 million for Route 219 construction to Snake Run Road in the Cattaraugus County Town of Ashford. Statewide, the plan would spend $25.7 billion on roads, bridges, railroads, airports, seaports and other infrastructure during the five-year period. That’s about 38 percent higher than the current $18 billion five-year plan, which runs through next year.
