On the morning of March 5, 2025, commuters in New York faced significant disruptions due to two separate incidents on major roadways. At 7:11 AM, a disabled vehicle was reported on I-690 eastbound, just past the McBride Street On Ramp in Syracuse. This incident resulted in the closure of the right lane, leaving only one lane open for traffic. I-690 is a crucial artery in Syracuse, connecting various parts of the city and providing access to key destinations. The closure of a lane during the morning rush hour likely caused delays for those traveling eastbound.

Simultaneously, at 7:10 AM, a crash occurred on the I-87 New York State Thruway southbound, just after Exit 19 near Kingston, Route 28. This section of I-87 is a vital corridor for travelers heading towards New York City and other southern destinations. The crash at this location would have impacted traffic flow significantly, as the Thruway is a major route for both local and long-distance travelers. Kingston, known for its rich history and proximity to the Catskill Mountains, often sees a mix of commuter and tourist traffic, making any disruption particularly impactful.

Both incidents highlight the importance of staying informed about road conditions, especially during peak travel times. The timing and location of these events underscore the challenges faced by drivers navigating New York’s busy roadways. As always, drivers are encouraged to exercise caution and remain patient during such disruptions to ensure safety for all road users.
