Ramp from 684-North to 84-East to Close for Work

The northbound I-684 Exit 9E—that’s the ramp leading to I-84 East—is expected to close from 8 p.m., June 6, to 11 a.m., June 7, for crews to perform construction activities.

That means all the drivers who daily queue up on northbound Interstate 684 to travel east on Interstate 84 are advised to follow the marked detour.

That will instead direct cars to a long U-turn: to Exit 10 (Route 6/202), then to Route 6/202 West to Interstate 684 South to Exit 9E (Interstate 84 East).

New York state transportation officials warn motorists may experience delays.

Also, right lane closures on Interstate 684 northbound approaching Exit 9E (Interstate 84 East) and on Interstate 84 eastbound between Exit 20N (Route 22 Pawling) and the New York/Connecticut Border are expected to occur during this time. Work and closures are weather permitting.

Drivers are asked to use caution when traveling through the work areas and pay particular attention to all traffic control devices, including work zone signs and flaggers.

Motorists are reminded that fines are doubled for speeding in a work zone. In accordance with the Work Zone Safety Act of 2005, convictions of two or more speeding violations in a work zone could result in the suspension of an individual’s driver license.
