New York’s Dunkirk. State police said Friday that a string of crashes in Pennsylvania brought on by heavy snowfall have forced the closure of the New York State Thruway westbound at Exit 59 in Dunkirk.
Drivers must find other routes and exit the highway at Dunkirk due to the closure, which affects all westbound traffic. As snow continues to fall over the area, officials warned of dangerous travel conditions.
There is currently no news on when the roadway would reopen, but Pennsylvania officials are responding to the accidents on their side of the border.
The New York State Police reiterated the continuous difficulties caused by the weather in a statement posted on social media, saying that heavy snow is making driving hazardous and that drivers are asked to use caution.
As officials attempt to clean the road, traffic delays and detours are anticipated.
