When it comes time to head to your holiday destination, it may be quicker to take state highways to get where you're going.
That's because from now until 6:00 am Monday, temporary lane closures for road and bridge construction projects on those roads are suspended. Travelers are urged to take advantage of rest stops on the Thruway so they get a can break when needed. Drivers can also receive traffic updates on their phones by downloading the Thruway Authority's mobile app.
