New York celebrates another infrastructure upgrade
On April 28, 2026, Governor Kathy Hochul announced the completion of a $31.8 million project to build a new bridge carrying North Avenue over the New England Thruway (I-95) in the City of New Rochelle, Westchester County in New York. The Thruway Authority project replaced the 65-year-old crossing with a modern, wider span that enhances safety and improves traffic flow along the busy route used by approximately 20,000 motorists each day. Additionally, the bridge’s vertical clearance over I-95 was raised more than two feet to 16 feet 6 inches to enhance safety and reduce the chances of collisions by over-height vehicles.
