NYSDOT Capital Program/NY Works Accelerated Bridge/Pavement ProgramBridge/Pavement Program

The Budget includes an unprecedented level of investment in the State’s highway and bridges of approximately $2.9 billion in SFY 2012‐13.

o $1.7 billion for State and local road/bridge construction;

o $1.2 billion to accelerate the repair, replacement and improvement of roads and bridges authorized under the Governor’s NY Works program.

This extraordinary support creates new and exciting opportunity to improve our infrastructure while creating well‐paying construction‐related jobsrelated jobs.

Accelerated Bridge/Pavement Program

To ensure that NYSDOT put people to work immediately at the beginning of this construction season, the accelerated preservation projects were put out for bid in April, May and June.projects were put out for bid in April, May and June.

The process utilized both traditional and innovative delivery methods, i l diincluding: 

Design‐build

Pre‐qualification of contractors 

Best value 

Bundled regional contracts

The selection of accelerated program projects was based on engineering needs and the implementation of a preservation first strategy that will b t i t i th hi h t ithi il bl f dibest maintain the highway system within available funding.

Beyond the short termThrough strategic investment in our transportation system – with an emphasis on preserving our existing infrastructure -our existing infrastructure -NYSDOT will help build the foundation for future

i th f Neconomic growth of New York State.

NYSDOT is taking action to ensure its decisions today will support future quality of life and the economy of the State for decades to come.
