14 Oct Superintendent Losquadro, Councilman LaValle
Announce Paving of Holbrook Road, Holbrook Avenue

Centereach/Ronkonkoma, NY – Brookhaven Town Highway Superintendent Daniel P. Losquadro and
Councilman Kevin LaValle have announced the resurfacing of Holbrook Road from Route 25 to Portion
Road, Holbrook Avenue and Smith Road in Centereach and Ronkonkoma.
Prior to paving, crews completed extensive concrete improvements, inspecting and installing new drains
and repairing and replacing damaged concrete curbing and aprons. Crews removed and replaced 11,650
square feet of concrete sidewalk, 6,300 square feet of aprons, 4,975 linear feet of concrete curb, and

4,780 square feet of ADA-compliant handicap ramps. The $135,525 cost to replace the existing handicap
ramps within this project and bring them into ADA compliance was covered by a grant from the U.S.
Department of Housing and Human Services. In addition, crews replaced catch basin roadway safety
grates with bicycle-friendly grates. The new grates that were installed have narrower openings that are
designed to meet current federal and state safety standards. The total cost for this paving project was
approximately $676,000.
“The portion of Holbrook Road that we resurfaced is a major artery running from Centereach to
Ronkonkoma,” said Superintendent Losquadro. “Crews worked diligently to complete this paving project
– which is located in a school zone – prior to the start of the school year earlier this month to be as
minimally-disruptive to students, teachers and administrators traveling to and from Holbrook Road
Elementary School.”
Councilman LaValle said, “I want to thank the Highway Superintendent for prioritizing Holbrook Road in
the 2022 paving schedule. Infrastructure projects are extremely important to our residents, and I
am committed to focusing on infrastructure projects like this to continue to improve the quality of life of
our residents in the Town of Brookhaven.”
