New York thruway closing

Are you referring to "turnpike doubles"?

 

PLEASE post a link to this information!!! I just checked the NYS Thruway website and the

Code:

re is NOTHING POSTED there about doubles/tandums not being allowed. I am VERY INTERESTED as my S.O. is going to be waiting on a doubles truck out out Warren Ohio about 2200 hrs to Rochester to pick up his trailer.

 

Thats pretty common in the winter to not let the doubles out when the roads are bad, when I drove for Frito Lay here in Binghamton we had it happen a lot..

 

I cant post links... but if you go to the thruway website and then go to press releases its in there.

For Immediate Release: February 1, 2011
