Mayor Noble Announces Additional May Paving Project
KINGSTON, NY – Mayor Steven T. Noble is pleased to announce that in addition to previously announced paving on Spring Street from Broadway to Ravine Street during the week of May 12, another paving project on Delaware Avenue from North Street to the Cordts Firehouse has been scheduled for the week of May 5, 2025.
Preparation in this area has already been completed. Milling is expected to begin on Monday, May 5, 2025, with paving expected to be completed by Friday, May 9, 2025, weather depending. A road closure is expected, with detours and changes in traffic patterns.
For this project, the following driveways will be inaccessible for the duration of this project: 146, 152, 154, 160, 166, 170, 172, 174, and 180. Residents are encouraged to leave extra time when planning activity, as there may be delays in travel. Parking will be allowed on Cordts Street and North Street. Cordts Street will be two-way traffic toward Willow Street. Additional parking will be allowed on Delaware Avenue in front of the North Street pump station, as well as 126 North Street.
During the milling and paving operation, all vehicles must remain off the street. Once the paving process begins, access/egress will be denied until the blacktop cools enough for normal vehicular traffic, approximately three to five hours. Never move or go around barricades.
“We are pleased to add extra paving projects to our previously announced work. Our paving contractor, Callanan Industries, had a last minute opening this week, and we were able to add a portion of Flatbush Avenue to our paving plans. In addition to the previously announced work on Spring Street in May, the Department of Public Works was able to schedule a portion of Delaware in early May as well. As always, we ask for patience during this process as we make vital improvements to our City’s infrastructure.”
This week, paving on Saint James Street from Broadway to 37-39 Saint James Street and Prospect Street from Saint James Street to Henry Street was completed. On Friday, April 25, 2025, the outbound lane of Flatbush Ave from Farrelly St to the top of the hill will be milled and paved. Both milling and paving will occur on the same day, Friday, April 25. Flaggers will be in place during milling/paving operations. No full road closure is expected.
Edward Norman, Superintendent of Public Works said, “We look forward to kicking off the 2025 paving season. As always, please be mindful of our staff while they are working to improve the condition of our streets throughout the City. There have been a few close calls within work zones, and we have asked KPD to help enforce work zone rules. Safety is everyone’s responsibility for the well-being of our staff.”
The next round of paving will be announced in the coming weeks. Paving season is expected to continue through October 2025. For more information on paving projects, please visit https://kingston-ny.gov/paving.
