New York’s Rochester. The New York State Thruway (I-90) has been closed to all commercial vehicles in both directions between exit 46 in Rochester and the Pennsylvania state line, with immediate effect.
Announced on Thursday, the limitation affects a large portion of the highway, including places that are essential for long-haul transportation and freight operations. Although more information about the precise hazards or conditions was not given, officials have stated that safety concerns are the cause for the restriction.
The policy will be in effect until further notice, according to the New York State Thruway Authority. To prevent delays, drivers of impacted vehicles are advised to arrange detours.
Authorities are keeping a careful eye on the situation along the road, but no timeframe has been provided for when the restriction will be lifted.
Due to the snowstorm this weekend, officials explained the surprise prohibition as a measure to ensure road safety in potentially dangerous situations.
