TRAFFIC ALERT

The work in this phase will include:

  • • Construction of Crossover Road from eastbound to westbound lane.
  • • Removal of old road striping and re-striping of crossover sections.
  • • Installation of 6.5 miles of concrete median barrier on westbound lane.
  • • Erection of signage for reduced speed limits and emergency detours.
Starting in late March, eastbound traffic will be shifted to the westbound lanes. A concrete median on the westbound lane will separate two lanes of traffic for both directions. Throughout the construction, the interchange at Exit 57A (Eden, Angola) will remain open to both eastbound and westbound traffic. In the 6.5-mile-long crossover zone, motorists are directed to remain in their lanes. Troop T of the New York State Police will enforce the posted speed limit of 55 mph. Fines are doubled for speeding in a work zone. Work on the total project is scheduled to be completed in the fall of 2012, the final year of this three-year, $91.2 million reconstruction project. Union Concrete and Construction Corporation of West Seneca, N.Y. is the prime contractor. Under this contract, approximately 13 miles of the roadway will be reconstructed or replaced. Updated information about lane closures is available by calling 1-800-847-8929. Motorists will be informed about the project via electronic Dynamic Message Signs along the highway, and by Highway Advisory Radio broadcasts on 1610 AM or 98.7 FM. The Thruway Authority offers a free TRANSalert service that alerts customers via email or text messaging about unscheduled incidents along the Thruway.

GOP megadonor puts Republicans on notice of stark reality — and real battleground ahead



Ken Griffin, a wealthy investor and one of the largest Republican megadonors, conceded to CNBC's Sara Eisen on Tuesday that he expects Democrats to win the House of Representatives this fall.

"I think Trump has to deal with that reality that the American people have just had it when it comes to inflation," said Griffin. "And unfortunately, I think he's being disproportionately blamed for the diminution in purchasing power, the story of which was really written during the pandemic days of the Biden administration."

"And all the money that got injected into the economy afterwards. So, I mean, do you see the Democrats taking Congress?" asked Eisen.

"So it's almost a certainty the Democrats will take the House," said Griffin. "That's the — that's the nature of almost every midterm election cycle, is the House seats swing in the in the favor of the opposing party, the Senate will be the big battleground in this midterm."

He went on to express his confidence that Republicans could still retain control of the Senate, where Democrats would have to pick up at least four Republican-held seats without losing any of their own in battleground states.

Griffin, who runs the Citadel hedge fund, has had a complicated relationship with President Donald Trump, backing many of his policies, but also keeping him at arm's length, endorsing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis over him in the 2024 primary, and accusing Trump of using the government to corruptly enrich himself.
