The New York State Thruway Authority announced construction work will shut down the southbound lanes of the Thruway (I-87/1-287) from Exit 12 in West Nyack to Exit 9 in Tarrytown during Saturday, Sept. 9.
The shutdown is being enacted in order to remove a damaged portion of the South Broadway overpass in South Nyack that was struck by an oversized tractor trailer on Aug. 31.
The southbound lanes south of Exit 12 and over the Tappan Zee Bridge will gradually be closed starting at 8:00 p.m. tonight and will be fully closed after 12:01 a.m. The lanes are expected to remain closed until either the afternoon or early evening. Motorists are asked to avoid the area beginning tonight and to use alternate routes tomorrow.
Travel in the northbound direction will remain open throughout the work, although the northbound left lane near the work zones will be closed.
