There are renewed calls today to approve a $500 million roadway expansion project in Orange County.
Sens. James Skoufis (D) and Jen Metzger (D) joined I-86 project advocates today in Harriman, urging the state to consider expanding Route 17 in the upcoming 5-year capital plan.
Project plans have been in the works for nearly 20 years and would expand both sides of Route 17 by three lanes.
