TRAFFIC ALERT: Overnight, Morning Work Will Shut Thruway Lanes, Exit Tonight, Wednesday

Tappan Zee Constructors is installing the foundations for a new temporary all-electronic toll collection system that will be employed until a permanent system is constructed in the location of the current toll plaza in Tarrytown.

Overnight partial closures: There will be triple-lane closures and periodic traffic stops of the northbound New York State Thruway—and the Exit 10 On-ramp to the southbound Thruway will be closed overnight Tuesday, June 30 and Wednesday, July 1.

The lane closures will run from exit 9 (Tarrytown - Sleepy Hollow - US Route 9) to exit 11 (Nyack - South Nyack - US Route 9W). The operation will start at 8 p.m. with the closing of one lane, followed by a second lane at 9 p.m. and a third at 11 p.m.

All lanes will reopen by 6 a.m. the following day.

To ensure the public’s safety, the New York State Police will stop and hold all traffic approaching the area immediately before the traffic stops go into effect. Motorists will be permitted to enter the Thruway from all ramps during the traffic stops.

However, the exit 10 (Nyack – South Nyack – US Route 9W) off-ramp from the northbound New York State Thruway (I-87/I-287) will be closed from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. during the overnights of Tuesday, June 30 and Wednesday, July 1.
