Taconic State Parkway

Details

Peckham Road Corporation successfully completed a $5.7M rehabilitation project on the Taconic State Parkway in southern Dutchess County, NY. This 2025 NAPA Quality in Construction Award-winning project expanded PRC’s footprint into a traditionally unionized and highly competitive market while setting a new performance benchmark on one of the region’s most challenging corridors. Through proactive collaboration, strategic scope expansion, and exceptional field execution, the team delivered industry-leading quality results while significantly increasing plant production.

Originally scoped as a 1.5” mill and fill, field evaluations revealed substantial drainage deficiencies, with more than 80% of structures requiring repair or reconstruction—far exceeding the anticipated 25%. PRC quickly boosted workforce capacity to address the expanded drainage scope while maintaining schedule and supporting tonnage demands for the Pleasant Valley plant.

Ongoing coordination with NYSDOT led to a major scope revision, upgrading the project to a 3” mill with a 1” shim and 2” top course. This change effectively doubled projected tonnage and daily production targets. Given the Taconic’s narrow lanes, tight curves, heavy traffic volumes, and strict quality standards, PRC also implemented a Material Transfer Vehicle (MTV) to improve material consistency and temperature control, positioning our company at the forefront of quality-focused paving operations in the state.
