Yesterday, during Climate Week, Governor Kathy Hochul provided an update on a $15.6 million comprehensive water infrastructure construction project underway in Lake Placid and transportation improvements to State roads and bridges in the North Country. The project includes repairs and replacement of approximately 2,000 linear feet of sanitary sewer and water lines located under State Route 86 and existing buildings between Main Street and Mirror Lake that will prevent potential sewage overflows and reduce adverse water quality and public health impacts to Mirror Lake. The Main Street portion of the project is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2022.
The Governor also provided an update on the New York State Department of Transportation’s investment of nearly $35 million to make critical upgrades to vital state roads and bridges near Lake Placid in the last several years. In the past two years, DOT has been resurfacing more than 37 miles of Route 86, Route 73 and Route 9N in Essex County in the vicinity of Lake Placid.
