Work on the Temporary Toll Gantry Will Close Lanes, Exit Overnight July 27-28 in South Nyack

The continued installation of a temporary toll collection system on the New York State Thruway in South Nyack will require triple-lane closures of southbound I-87/287 approaching exit 11 and extending just beyond exit 10 during the overnights of Monday and Tuesday.

The installation also will require closing the exit 10 (Nyack – South Nyack – US Route 9W) on-ramp to the southbound Thruway during the overnight hours on Tuesday. Drivers will be directed to use the on-ramp from Route 59 in Nyack, as shown in the graphic.

Specific lane and ramp closure times are listed in the chart here.

The gantry will carry cameras and other equipment for a temporary all-electronic toll collection (AETC) system that will allow tolls to be collected at normal highway speeds, thereby reducing traffic delays, improving safety and cutting air pollution.

The temporary AETC system will be tested this fall and is scheduled to be implemented in spring 2016. (During the testing period, drivers will not be charged or otherwise affected by the gantry (they will continue to pay tolls at the existing Tarrytown toll plaza).

When the temporary all-electronic toll system goes into service, the Tarrytown plaza will be closed and a new, permanent AETC system will be built in its location.
