Buffalo, N.Y. (WBEN) - Road work season is back in the Buffalo, as infrastructure work has already begun on several streets across the city to improve travel for residents and visitors alike.
This all comes as part of Buffalo Mayor Chris Scanlon's 2025 tentative paving rehabilitation project, a $17 million infrastructure investment which includes milling and paving of more than 190 streets across the city this year.
"Investing in our infrastructure is one of the most important initiatives under my administration," said Mayor Scanlon during a press briefing on Wednesday. "This year’s repaving program and $17 million investment is one of the most comprehensive in recent memory and reflects our commitment to delivering improved, safer, and more reliable roads for everyone who lives, works, and drives in Buffalo."
The 2025 repaving program is funded through the City of Buffalo’s capital budget and state/federal infrastructure funds. The schedule for paving locations is subject to weather conditions and other construction-related factors.
"This year’s city-wide paving program deliver’s on the Mayor’s commitment to impact and improve all areas of the city, as new roadways surfaces improve both the quality of travel for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians and the quality of life for our residents," said Nate Marton, Buffalo's commissioner for the Department of Public Works. "We are appreciative of Mayor Scanlon and the Common Council for their support and funding to improve Buffalo’s infrastructure, and of course to our federal and state partners as well."
Milling began last week in the city’s Masten District, with paving already underway and set to continue, weather permitting.
The full list of streets for 2025 is available on the City of Buffalo’s website.
