Scajaquada Expressway

Scajaquada Expressway is a major transportation route in Buffalo, NY, known for its divided highway and grade separated interchanges. Carrying a high volume of vehicles each day, it serves as an important link between Interstate 190 and New York State Route 33. However, the expressway has been a subject of controversy due to its perceived barrier-like presence in Delaware Park. The New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) has been working on a project to transform the Scajaquada Corridor into a landscaped boulevard, incorporating pedestrian and bicyclist accommodations, improved aesthetics, and enhanced safety measures.

Despite efforts to create a consensus among stakeholders, the proposed project has been put on hold due to public opposition. NYSDOT has implemented safety measures, such as reducing speed limits and adding signage, to address concerns in the meantime. The estimated cost for the reconstruction of the entire corridor is approximately $115 million, but no funding source has been identified yet. NYSDOT plans to engage with the community and restart the dialogue in the future to find a viable solution for the Scajaquada Expressway.
