- County Route 67 – Hornellsville, 2.1 miles
Additional paving projects for this year will be on county routes 3, 21, 31, 48, 71 and 333, thanks to the state funds.
The County Public Works also will be chip sealing approximately 66 miles of road starting in June, which will include sections of county routes 5, 7, 17, 27, 34, 36, 38, 39A, 40, 40A, 75, 78, 85, 90, 91, 97, 103 and 119.
