"The New York State Thruway Authority says to expect nightly lane closures, and traffic stops will take place on the Thruway (I-87) in both directions in Newburgh starting Monday, Nov. 17. Closures will remain until Friday morning. The left lane in both the northbound and southbound directions will be closed to traffic from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. Monday-Thursday, in the area just north of exit 17."
"On top of the planned daily closures, there is the warning that New York State will "stop traffic multiple times in both directions." These closures won't happen until after 11 p.m. Exact times haven't been announced. Each closure is expected to last "no longer" than 20 minutes. The closures will allow crews to safely conduct overhead work activities for the new Meadow Hill Road bridge. This includes the installation of 14 steel girder sections, which range from 86 to 120 feet in length, officials say."

New York State Police will also stop traffic multiple times in both directions after 11 p.m., with each stop lasting no longer than 20 minutes.
