In the early hours of November 11, 2024, two significant traffic incidents occurred on the New York State Thruway (I-90), impacting both eastbound and westbound lanes. The first incident was a crash on the eastbound side of I-90, just before Exit 29A near Little Falls, Route 169. This area is known for its scenic views and proximity to the Mohawk River, making it a popular route for travelers heading towards the Adirondack Mountains. The crash was reported at 12:59 AM, causing potential delays for those navigating this stretch of the Thruway.
Simultaneously, an injury crash was reported on the westbound side of I-90, just after Exit 39 near the State Fairgrounds, intersecting with I-690. This location is a bustling hub, especially during events at the New York State Fair, and serves as a critical junction for traffic heading towards Syracuse. The incident, also reported at 12:59 AM, likely affected the flow of vehicles in this busy corridor.
Both incidents highlight the importance of staying informed about traffic conditions on major roadways like the NYS Thruway. The I-90 serves as a vital artery for commuters and travelers across New York State, connecting key cities and regions. Understanding the potential for delays and planning alternate routes can help mitigate the impact of such incidents on travel plans. As always, drivers are encouraged to exercise caution and remain alert, especially during late-night and early-morning hours when visibility and road conditions can be challenging.
