Route 114 Paving in East Hampton to Start in October

The resurfacing of Route 114 between Main Street and Stephen Hand's Path in East Hampton is set to begin in October and will be finished by the end of November, according to the New York State Department of Transportation.

Eileen Peters, a spokeswoman for the D.O.T., said by phone Thursday that Route 114 "is a priority location" among the five roadways that are part of an $11.6 million state repaving project on Long Island.

New York State Assemblyman Fred W. Thiele Jr. said in a release issued Tuesday that the work is to be done in stages on short sections and will take place weeknights between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m., with some related tasks performed during the day between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. Drivers should expect "intermittent brief closures of all lanes to accommodate positioning of construction equipment," the assemblyman's office said in the release, but the goal is to shift traffic to allow for two-way travel when possible.

Mr. Thiele has been advocating the resurfacing of the badly potholed section of roadway since the summer of 2014. The section was last resurfaced in 2002. He and State Senator Kenneth P. LaValle "have a pending request in with the Department of Transportation and governor for a full resurfacing of the remaining portion of State Route 114," the release said.
