Schumer: A Transportation Transformation Is Coming To Westchester!

U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer and U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand today announced $25 million in federal funding for the Villages of Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow to make vital safety improvements along U.S. Route 9. The funding comes from the U.S. Department of Transportation's (USDOT) highly competitive Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development (BUILD) grant program, which Schumer secured historic funding for in the Bipartisan Infrastructure & Jobs Law.

"The Bipartisan Infrastructure & Jobs Law we passed is paving the way for safer roads and more jobs in Westchester County! I am thrilled to be announcing that Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow will receive $25 million in federal funding to upgrade critical road infrastructure along U.S. Route 9," said Senator Schumer. "I am proud to have secured the funding for this project and will continue to advocate for the Hudson Valley to receive the federal resources it needs to thrive."

"Well-maintained infrastructure is critical to increase safety, improve the flow of traffic, and enhance mobility," said Senator Gillibrand, ranking member of the Senate Appropriations Transportation Subcommittee. "This project is a win for Tarrytown, Sleepy Hollow, and all of Westchester. I'm proud to have fought for the passage of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which helped fund this project, and I will continue working to deliver federal dollars to New York for the improvement of our infrastructure."

The project will reconstruct approximately 1.5 miles of U.S. Route 9 to include the reconstruction of four signalized intersections as roundabouts, the installation of two new traffic signals, the construction of up to a 0.75-mile shared-use path, the enhancement of sidewalks and pedestrian crossings, and the optimization of bus stop locations.
