​Yates County Launches Major Road Milling Projects Amid Statewide Infrastructure Upgrades

​Yates County is set to commence significant road milling projects on two major county routes, aiming to enhance driving conditions and extend the lifespan of these vital thoroughfares.

Yates County is set to commence significant road milling projects starting Monday, April 28, 2025, as part of its ongoing efforts to enhance local transportation infrastructure. The Yates County Highway Department announced that County Route 4, also known as Ferguson Corners Road, will undergo full-length milling operations, with completion anticipated by May 1. Subsequently, beginning May 5, similar work will commence on County Route 29, or Guyanoga Road, extending through May 8.​

These projects are integral to the county’s broader capital improvement plan, aiming to improve road safety and durability. The milling process involves removing the top layer of asphalt to prepare the surface for new pavement, thereby extending the roadway’s lifespan and enhancing driving conditions.

Motorists should anticipate traffic disruptions during these periods, including potential lane closures and detours. The Highway Department advises drivers to seek alternative routes and exercise caution in work zones to ensure the safety of both workers and travelers.
