News release from NYSDOT:
The New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) today announced revisions to the highway closure of westbound Interstate 86.

The on ramps at Exits 21, 20 and 19 to westbound Interstate 86 are closed. A detour is posted at Exit 21 (Parkway Drive) for all thru traffic on westbound Interstate 86. Motorists wishing to travel beyond Exit 20 are advised to follow the westbound detour at Exit 21 utilizing northbound US Route 219, westbound NY Route 242, westbound NY Route 394 and West Main Street.

Motorists are reminded that fines are doubled for speeding in a work zone. In accordance with the Work Zone safety Act of 2005, convictions of two or more speeding violations in a work zone could result in the suspension of an individual’s driver license.
