Upcoming Service Area Changes on the Thruway

Rockland Daily Staff 

The NYS Thruway Authority released a travel advisory regarding upcoming changes at select service areas. 

As part of a modernization project, 11 New York State Thruway service areas will be redeveloped starting Sunday, January 1, 2023. The $450 million project is funded by a public-private partnership and does not use toll or state dollars. 

However, to ensure continuity of services to Thruway customers, no two consecutive service areas in the same direction of travel will be closed for renovations simultaneously.

According to the Press Release, the Ramapo service area (located on I-87 south between exit 16 and exit 15A) and the Warners service area (located on I-90 west between exit 39 and exit 40) will both be entirely rebuilt. 

During the construction process, fuel services will remain available at both locations. New amenities will include updated restaurant concepts, Taste NY food and drink products, outdoor seating, seasonal food trucks, playgrounds, and pet walking areas, among other updates.
