Thruway construction could wreck your upstate getaway this summer
Briefly

The New York State Thruway Authority has commenced extensive infrastructure projects that will impact road travel this summer. With over 40 construction zones along its 570-mile stretch, particularly affecting I-87 and I-90 corridors, drivers can expect slowdowns and potential delays, especially during weekends. Key projects include a $19.4 million bridge deck replacement in Rockland County and a $61 million pavement repair in Ontario and Monroe counties. The Thruway Authority believes these upgrades are essential for maintaining long-term road health, investing $2.7 billion through 2029 to enhance safety and infrastructure.
The New York State Thruway Authority is implementing significant infrastructure improvements causing lane closures and delays, urging travelers to adjust their plans and expectations.
This summer, over 40 construction zones will create bottlenecks, particularly during holiday weekends, as the Thruway focuses on improving aging infrastructure.
