BATH< NY - Steuben County Public Works Commissioner Eric Rose says the county recently repaired 46 miles of road, on numerous 14 county routes. He says seven of the projects were originally scheduled for 2024 and 2025, but the county public works department was able to fit them in this year’s budget. The cost was $7.6 million and paid for through CHIPS, PAVE New York and the Pave our Potholes funds. "Other projects done recently included road repairs paid for by windfarm firms to County Routes 61, 92 and 121," Rose said. The Public Works Commmisionser also explains, these roads were damaged by wheel rutting due to heavy loads during wind turbine construction. Rose also says in 2024, the county will continue its oversight of repair to roads damaged by heavy loads due to wind farms.
