An earlier post on social media stated a portion of the Thruway was closed by exit 55, but they have since deleted that post and provided this new update:
I-90: The westbound on-ramp to Rt. 219 south at exit 55 (Springville – Orchard Park – Lackawanna – West Seneca – US Route 219 – Ridge Road) is now closed until further notice due to the New York State Department of Transportation closing Rt. 219.
A tandem and empty-trailer ban started on Thursday at midnight for:
- NY Route 5 from NY 179 to I-190 (Erie County);
- US 219 from I-90 to I-86 (Erie and Cattaraugus counties);

Gov. Kathy Hochul declared a State of Emergency for counties that are expected to be severely impacted.
We will continue to keep this story updated as more travel updates come in.
