Thruway Now Closed To All Traffic Both Directions Between Exit 46 & The Pennsylvania Line

As of Noon on Tuesday, the New York State Thruway Authority said that the Thruway is closed to all traffic, in both directions, between exit 46 in Henrietta and the Pennsylvania state line.

In additional, the Niagara Thruway ( I-290) is closed in both directions from I-90 to I-290

Meantime, the Genesee County Sheriff's Department upgraded their travel advisory to a travel "ban" as of midday on Tuesday until further notice, which means no travel for anyone there except emergency vehicles. That's due to blowing and drifting snow creating impassable roads.
