Paving project is currently in the mile south of Briarcliff Manor and technically the short distance beyond up to the route 100 entrance. Diverted around that northbound on the road (at 7am I was not passed by a single car, southbound would be less pleasant as there are a lot of drains disrupting the shoulder of the road).
Apart from the very last bit to where you cross the highway it looks mostly done and to be very nice - there'd be a lot of damage in that section including one huge tree root that you could miss northbound as it was in the shadow of that tree.
Overall I'm liking the recent work - the whole section from Eastview up to 117 is quite nice now. That's in contrast to the initial work in places like the off road segment within the route 100 stretch, which got a very on-again off again patching. When they repave real roads they mill the surface, repave the whole thing, and leave behind consistency, in that stretch they fixed some issues but left behind inconsistency, and in addition to all the changes between new and original you can see in places it was too cold or something when they rolled it.
Hoping they've done a full, consistent repaving of the Granite Springs Rd to Baldwin Place section by next summer.
Incidentally, the Old Putnam Trail paving theoretically kicks off this Wednesday.
