Section of I-90 east in Chautauqua County to close overnight Friday into Saturday
The same section of I-90 westbound will remain open throughout the repairs. A 17-mile section of I-90 eastbound section of the New York State Thruway Authority in Chautauqua County will be closed overnight Friday into Saturday to facilitate emergency bridge repairs. The closure will allow crews to remove a "severely damaged" portion of the North Road overpass, which has been hit at least three times by overweight trucks since the start of 2024. Motorists are advised to follow the Emergency Detour Route “D” which will direct traffic to NY Route 394 east and eventually return onto the thruway at Exit 59. The same section of Interstate 90 westbound will remain open throughout the repairs.
