March 19, 2013 With this last blast (hopefully) of winter weather, roads are snow covered and very slippery. But, we all do have to get places today, and if you're traveling out of town, we have the latest conditions on the New York State Thruway.
February 9, 2013 After digging out from Winter Storm Nemo, things are getting back to normal throughout central New York and much of the state. If you're planning on traveling today, here are the latest conditions on the New York State Thruway.
October 8, 2012 If you travel on the New York State Thruway, there's a basic rule: you have to pay the toll. Many of us have E-ZPass, while others pay cash. I remember years ago as a college student running out of money on my way home and asking the toll booth operator if I could "charge" the toll. That didn't go over very well, but he let me do it. Apparently, there are a number of travelers who haven't paid their tolls.
September 29, 2012 If you're traveling on the New York State Thruway this weekend to to watch that Utica College Pioneers football game at Ithaca College, you'll still pay the same toll. But, there's talk about possible toll increases on the Thruway. The Thruway needs to maintain the roadway, but higher tolls mean higher costs for consumers, business travelers, and those trucking goods (and you know what that means on prices of the goods they're hauling).
In case you're heading eastbound on the Thruway this morning, a tractor trailer caught fire just after 6:30am about 3 miles west of the Little Falls exit.
June 1, 2012 During the "Frog Days Of Summer", we'll be traveling more to vacation destinations, and many of us will be driving on the New York State Thruway. But truckers who drive every day on the Thruway delivering goods, may soon be paying higher tolls.
May 3, 2012 As we begin travel and vacation season with Memorial Weekend at the end of the month, there's word from the New York State Thruway Authority about deer on the roadway.
