“Dutchess County’s Department of Public Works’ Highway Division employees and contractors work tirelessly all season long to maintain and enhance our roadway system. When you’re out and about this summer, be mindful of our crews, slow down in and around work sites, and obey posted speed limits and directions from flaggers," said County Executive Marcus Molinaro. 

The goal of the annual program is to maintain the County highway system by addressing deteriorating pavement conditions well before a total rehabilitation of the roadway is necessary. This approach saves the county money, maintains the safety of the traveling public and diminishes regular wear and tear on vehicles that use the roadways.
