"Traffic Chaos: Cuomo Bridge and Thruway Shutdown Sparks 16-Hour Nightmare"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Journal News
The closure of the NY Thruway southbound in eastern Rockland and the Cuomo/Tappan Zee Bridge on Saturday is expected to cause traffic chaos and delays. The closure is necessary to repair the South Broadway overpass that was struck by an over-height truck. Motorists are advised to stay away from local roads and plan alternate routes, as the closure will divert traffic to the Bear Mountain Bridge and the George Washington Bridge, both of which are expected to be heavily congested. The closure will begin Friday night and last until the repairs are completed.
