Due to heavy snowfall and poor visibility in Western New York, the New York State Thruway is now closed between Interchange 57 in Hamburg and Interchange 59 in Dunkirk until further notice. Winter maintenance crews are working to clear the snow and ice from the Thruway in this area. In general, Thruway travelers across the state are advised to drive with caution and be alert to changing winter weather conditions. All operators of passenger and commercial vehicles are advised to reduce their speeds in accordance with safe winter driving techniques. Motorists should also maintain a safe distance from other vehicles to prevent collision if traffic ahead slows or stops.
Information is updated as conditions change.
