Expect Delays When Repairs Start On Thruway Ramp To NJ, Rte 17

ROCKLAND COUNTY, NY — Traffic will be reduced to one lane at the northbound exit 15 ramp to New Jersey beginning Monday, a temporary alignment scheduled to be in place until mid-November.

The lane reduction is needed for bridge joint repair work on the ramp to New Jersey-I-287-NJ Route 17 South, New York State Thruway Authority officials said.

It is expected to cause delays, especially during the morning and evening commutes.

Motorists seeking to enter I-287/NJ Route 17 southbound via the exit 15 northbound ramp should plan ahead and consider alternate routes.
