New York and Pennsylvania Motorists Affected

ALBANY, NY (10/28/2008)(readMedia)-- The New York State Thruway Authority has announced that winter weather conditions continue to cause delays for motorists traveling along I-84 in New York and Pennsylvania.

The Authority has been notified by Pennsylvania authorities that I-84 in Pennsylvania is currently closed between Exits 46 and 43 due to winter weather conditions. Motorists traveling I-84 westbound in New York are advised that I-84 is closed in Pennsylvania; Exit 46 is the second exit along I-84 once you exit New York and enter Pennsylvania.

Additionally, I-84 eastbound in New York is closed between Exit 1 (Port Jervis) and Exit 2 (Mountain Road), due to two tractor trailers being stuck. State Police and maintenance crews are the scene; tow trucks are en route.

The Authority offers a free email service called TRANSalert to its customers via email or text messaging to inform them of major unscheduled incidents that may affect their travel on the Thruway.
