Thruway ramp closings in Rockland tonight

Drivers will find multiple ramp closures along the Thruway in Rockland Thursday night.

The on-ramp from Interstate 287/Route 17 north to the southbound Thruway from New Jersey will be closed from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. Friday.

The construction is part of a $28.7 million project to fix the on-ramp and bridge over the Ramapo River, the state Thruway Authority said.

The work will continue into next week when ramp closures will begin at 9 p.m. Monday through Wednesday and at 10 p.m. Thursday and Friday. It will reopen the next day at 5 a.m. Drivers will be detoured to Exit 15A in Sloatsburg on the northbound Thruway and then to back to the southbound lanes.

Further south, the Exit 10 on-ramp in South Nyack to the Tappan Zee Bridge will be closed from 9 p.m. to 4:30 a.m. on Thursday and Friday for the on-going installation of an all-electronic toll collection system in Rockland. Drivers will be detoured to the entrance ramp on Route 59 in Nyack.

The right lane of the southbound Thruway will be closed near Exit 11 in Nyack to the Tappan Zee Bridge from 8 p.m. Thursday until 4:30 a.m. Friday and from 9 p.m. Friday to 4:30 a.m. Saturday as part of the same project. Three lanes will remain open during that time.
