The Brookhaven Town Highway Department has completed the resurfacing of a 2.3-mile section of Whiskey Road, stretching from Ridge Road in Ridge to County Road 21 in Middle Island. The project, which cost $660,980, included repairs and upgrades to the road’s drainage system before the new pavement was laid.
Crews inspected and repaired existing drains and installed additional drainage infrastructure to address flooding in low-lying areas. The road was also elevated at certain points to help direct water toward both existing and new drains.
Superintendent Daniel P. Losquadro stated, “Whiskey Road is a major artery in Brookhaven Town and was in need of resurfacing. With the drainage improvements that were made, it is now smoother and safer for motorists and bicyclists.”
Councilwoman Jane Bonner commented, “Whiskey Road is a roadway many of us use every day, and these improvements will make a real difference for our neighbors. By fixing the drainage and giving the road a much-needed resurfacing, we’re helping families, commuters and bicyclists travel more safely. I want to thank our Highway Department for listening to residents’ concerns and delivering a project that benefits the whole community.”
Councilman Michael Loguercio added, “Thank you to our Highway Department for another job very well done, on a huge project that reached across two council districts.”
