New York to begin Whiteface Mountain Highway restoration
Quote:
WILMINGTON - Restoration work has begun on the iconic Whiteface Mountain Veterans Memorial Highway, stretching 8 miles long up the 4,867-foot-high peak.
Surveyors from Rifenburg Construction began to scope out the road this week. There will be around 30 workers involved in the repairs. The state Department of Transportation is setting up a field office to make inspections and watch the project's progress. The $11.2 million project, funded through the state's NY Works program, is expected to be finished next year in June. Work being done this year will finish in October. A majority of the work will be completed this year.
Russell Huta, Rifenburg Construction's project manager, said his company is very excited.
"We are going to focus on the top of the mountain first," Huta said. "Our goal would be to get the road paved on the toll road portion by the wintertime."
I thought New York (the person) was going to start wearing white face
