ALBANY >> Tandem trucks are being banned from the Thruway in the Hudson and Mohawk valleys because of the storm expected to dump more than a foot of snow parts of eastern New York.
State transportation officials say starting at 7 a.m., tandem trucks have been banned from Interstate 87 between New York City and Exit 24 (Albany) and on I-90 between Exit 24 to Exit 32 (Westmoreland), just west of Utica.
Also effective at 7 a.m. Wednesday, all commercial vehicles including large trucks, tractor-trailers and buses won’t be permitted along the entire stretch of I-84, from the Pennsylvania state line to the Connecticut state line.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo said the state is prepared to close I-84 if necessary.
