Erie County Department of Public Works will mill and overlay Tonawanda Creek & Sweet Home Roads

Erie County, NY – At their June 18, 2020 legislative session, the Erie County Legislature unanimously approved a resolution authorizing mill-and-overlay projects that included multiple roads.  Tonawanda Creek Road, from Old Falls Boulevard to Bear Ridge, and Sweet Home Road, from Eggert to Maple, are both on the schedule to have the top layer of pavement removed and a new layer applied this year.

Erie County Legislator Jeanne Vinal, who represents this portion of Amherst in the Legislature said, “Investing in essential infrastructure right now makes sense – the longer we wait to make improvements, the more money we have to spend to fix the problems overall. I’m grateful that Erie County is able to make the necessary improvements to these roads while still maintaining adequate levels of funding for other projects and services that our residents depend on. ”

The projects are expected to cost over $500,000 to complete and will include roughly 3.5 miles of Amherst roadway. Additional information or updates can be obtained from the Department of Public Works website at www.erie.gov/dpw.
