Update: Shoulder Barrier Shift On Southbound Thruway (I-87/I-287) Near Exit 10 Overnight Lane Closure on Tuesday, August 23

August 23, 2016

Tappan Zee Constructors, LLC (TZC) will extend the shoulder barrier on the southbound New York State Thruway (I-87/I-287) near exit 10 (Nyack – South Nyack – US Route 9W) during an overnight operation tonight to facilitate future drainage work in South Nyack. The extension will necessitate the closing of the right lane of the southbound Thruway between exit 11 (Nyack – South Nyack – US Route 9W) to the South Broadway bridge past exit 10, between 8 p.m. tonight and 5 a.m. Wednesday, August 24.

The extended shoulder barrier, located just south of exit 10 leading to the Tappan Zee Bridge, will allow TZC to install a new drainage system in South Nyack. The work will take place over the coming weeks without the need for additional lane closures until TZC retracts the barrier in another overnight operation in September.

Specific lane closure times are detailed in the chart below.
