Today, New York State Senator Bill Weber was joined by Clarkstown Town Supervisor George Hoehmann and members of the Clarkstown Town Board to announce that the long-anticipated repaving of State Route 304 is scheduled to begin this spring, following sustained advocacy by Senator Weber’s office.
The New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) has confirmed plans to begin a milling and resurfacing project along Route 304 from the pavement joint south of West Nyack Road to U.S. Route 9W. Construction will take place during the spring 2026 construction season and will be performed overnight to minimize disruptions to motorists and nearby businesses.
“For years, residents have raised concerns about the poor condition of Route 304,” said Senator Weber. “The potholes, uneven pavement, and overall safety of the roadway have been a constant complaint. I am pleased to see this project moving forward and to know that relief is on the way for the thousands of drivers who rely on this road every day.”
Senator Weber noted that his office began advocating several years ago for improvements to the roadway in response to concerns from constituents and local officials. With construction now scheduled to begin in the coming weeks, the Senator emphasized that the project reflects the results of persistent engagement with state transportation officials.
“We pushed for this project because our residents deserve safe and reliable infrastructure,” Weber said. “Route 304 is finally being paved, and I am proud that our advocacy helped make this happen.”
According to NYSDOT, the project will include milling the existing roadway surface and applying a new asphalt overlay. The work will also include targeted concrete repairs, monitoring of drainage conditions, restoration of pavement markings, and the installation of audible roadway delineators to enhance safety for motorists.
Senator Weber also highlighted additional infrastructure improvements underway in the district, including a Route 303 improvement project from Al Foxie Way to Route 9W in the Towns of Clarkstown and Orangetown. That project is currently underway and is expected to be completed by next winter.
“Safe roads are not a luxury — they are essential to our daily lives, our local economy, and the well-being of our residents,” Senator Weber said. “I will continue working with state and local partners to ensure that Rockland County receives the infrastructure investment it deserves.”
This is nonsense.
This has nothing to do with Weber. This project has been in state planning for several years and was advanced by the Democratic Assembly members. It was approved by Ken Zebrowski when he was still in office, and Pat Carroll, who pushed and advocated to move it forward after taking office.
In fact, Pat Carroll announced two months ago that the project would begin in spring 2026.
Now Bill Weber is jumping on a press release and taking credit for something he likely only learned about from Pat Carroll’s Facebook post announcing that the project was coming.
Thank you senator, why isn’t the assembly member at the press conference?
Here we go again. Bill Weber doing what he does best: staging a press conference with his Republican colleagues for a project that was actually approved by Democratic Governor four years ago.
Hey Bill, Webber, have you had driven down route 59 recently between Nanuet and the Suffern border. The roads are smoother in Iran after the bombings. Route 59 is a freaking war zone. Why don’t you address that problem? Why don’t you go and scream at the state DOT because they absolutely suck.
