This project included new ADA (American Disabilities Act) accessible pedestrian safety upgrades, as well as various ITS improvements, along three (3) miles of NY-59 from Monsey, through Spring Valley, to Nanuet in Rockland County, in conjunction with the completion of the Mario Cuomo Bridge.

The NYSDOT-sponsored Lower Hudson Transit Link was a NYS-sponsored program of integrated projects that supported traffic, transit, and safety improvements in Rockland and Westchester Counties via technology implementations and transportation strategies to deliver reliable and improved travel in the I-287 corridor. The overall program was guided by the goal of addressing current operational needs as well as future demands on the system while maximizing existing infrastructure to: “improve the availability, accessibility, and quality of transit service in the Lower Hudson Valley; increase access to jobs, housing, and other transportation options; and increase the attractiveness, utilization, and quality of local transit and the regional inter-county network of transit services.” (Lower Hudson Transit Link Phase I, New York State, www.dot.ny.gov/LHTL.)
