Work has commenced on a $48.5m project aimed at enhancing safety and improving mobility along a section of US Route 20 in Erie County, New York, US.
The project will see the reconstruction of a nearly one-mile stretch of the roadway between Leydecker Road and Seneca Street, in the towns of West Seneca, Elma, and Orchard Park.
It will add a new road surface, sidewalks, and other improvements to facilitate access along this commuter route.
This route serves local traffic, as well as serves as an access point to Highmark Stadium and several retail and commercial centres in the region.
New York governor Kathy Hochul said: “These improvements along the US Route 20 corridor in Erie County will make it easier for people and goods to get where they need to go safely and also help create a more pleasant journey for fans travelling to Highmark Stadium to cheer on the [Buffalo] Bills.”

In addition, the US Route 20 bridge over Cazenovia Creek is scheduled for replacement, which will bolster the corridor’s resiliency and sustainability for Western New York travellers.

By GlobalDataThe bridge, originally constructed in 1929, will be upgraded to a modern steel, multi-girder structure with sidewalks.
It will be constructed to be jointless to minimise long-term maintenance and enhance durability.
Construction of the roadway is expected to be completed in late 2026.
Last month, the state of New York witnessed the commencement of a $161m bridge rehabilitation project along the Grand Central Parkway in Queens.
