The New York State Thruway Authority today announced that the southbound lanes of the
Thruway (I-87) from exit 18 in New Paltz to exit 17 in Newburgh will fully shut down to all traffic
between January 13th-14th, so a portion of the damaged Brookside Road
overpass in New Paltz can be safely removed over the southbound lanes, weather permitting.
The Plattekill service area will be closed during this operation. Motorists should seek alternate
routes while this work takes place or avoid travel in the area during these times, if
possible.
