#Eclipse2024 : Operation centers have been set up to monitor traffic across the Thruway system throughout the day. This allows us to quickly respond to emergencies and keep traffic moving. If you are traveling, expect an increase in traffic and DO NOT park on the highway.

There is an expected high volume of car/foot traffic in the total eclipse viewing areas of NY. NYSP has extra Troopers staged throughout WNY, CNY, and Upstate NY. Multiple local first responding agencies will be staged throughout the State as well. call 911 for any emergencies.

Today is the day! For those hoping to observe the Total Solar Eclipse, here is a look at the expected sky cover for 3pm. While high level clouds will be increasing this afternoon, some of them will be thin, so the eclipse may still be viewable, especially for eastern areas (1/2)

If you’re traveling for the Solar Eclipse and using the Thruway, here are some Do's and Don'ts. #TotalSolarEclipse
