With record-setting precipitation slamming the Lower Hudson Valley in the last few years, local roads and bridges have taken a major hit.

In January, Washington D.C.-based travel research group TRIP released an annual report saying potholes and poor road maintenance cost New York drivers around $8.7 billion on repairs, fuel and wear and tear in 2023. On average, that’s $715 per driver.

The report said around 43% of state roads are in poor condition, thanks to weathering and crashes, and 9% of its bridges were deemed structurally insufficient.

As she took office, Gov. Kathy Hochul declared a “war on potholes” in 2022 and included $7.6 billion in this year’s state budget to address transportation infrastructure issues, including highways, bridges and railways. $100 million was allotted specifically for filling potholes around the state.

But is it working? As more damaging weather comes to the Lower Hudson Valley, commuters are faced with dangerous conditions, detours and car repairs.
