Governor Andrew Cuomo has announced a tractor trailer ban on the Thruway and other interstates.
The ban covers the following roads:
- I - 81

- I - 86/Route 17
- I - 88
- Thruway
The ban is for all tractor trailers, including tandem trailers.
“During any emergency situation, protecting the safety of New Yorkers is our number one priority,” Cuomo said. “By enacting this tractor trailer ban and banning travel in Broome County, we are putting the safety of travelers first and allowing emergency crews to clear roadways as soon as possible. We encourage all New Yorkers take appropriate precautions now so that they can stay home and stay safe as these dangerous conditions continue.”
