Chautauqua County will be paving 22 miles of county roads and rehabilitating or replacing over 18 bridges as part of the 2021 construction program. County Executive PJ Wendel and County Public Facilities Director Brad Bentley said this year’s program makes use of County forces, contracted labor, and shared services.
Wendel said $4-point-5 million dollars is budgeted for county highway and bridge capital work under the CHIPS and PAVE NY programs, with the County expecting to receive an additional $2-point-1 million dollars as part of funding increases to CHIPS, PAVE NY, and Extreme Weather Programs from the most recent New York State budget.
County crews have already started working on winter clean up, ditch work and patching pot-holes. Motorists are reminded to be aware of construction crews working on the highways.

What about Hwy 20 going through Westfield it’s a mess and has been for a long time. Also S Gale with all the thoroughway traffic. It’s wrecking our cars and needs to be taken care of sooner rather than later.
I agree with Lori. The section between Westfield and Ripley ,just before the bridge has been just filled with strips for a few years now. My car is out of alignment do to having to try to keep car on the strips.I travel that way every day for work. I read quit a few places now that the very end of the state never gets fixed. I do however think that is a state Rd.so we maybe comainging to the wrong road department. 🤔🤷😠
*complaining
Figures, Ripley to westfield left out again!
The bridge on 430 in Dewittville isn’t listed. It’s been closed for a few weeks now.
