Preparations for the New NY Bridge project’s temporary cashless tolling system in Rockland will continue this week near the southbound New York State Thruway (I-87/I-287) exit 10 (Nyack – South Nyack – US Route 9W) on-ramp.
The cashless tolling system is scheduled to be activated on April 23.
Work associated with the system, also called all-electronic toll collection, will necessitate overnight lane closures in the area from Tuesday, April 5, to Friday, April 8. In addition, periodic traffic stops lasting up to 10 minutes of all four lanes of the southbound Thruway from exit 11 (Nyack – South Nyack – US Route 9W) to the Tappan Zee Bridge will occur between 12 a.m. and 5 a.m. during these overnights. 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.
Work will also require closing the exit 10 on-ramp during the overnight of Friday, April 8. The graphic below shows detour routes.
Specific lane and ramp closure times are detailed in the chart below.
