Thruway Authority

There are two main phases of the project on the ticketed portion of the Thruway, which is located between exits 15 (Woodbury) on I-87 and exit 61 (Ripley – PA Line) on I-90 as well as exits B1 – B3 (Berkshire Spur).

1. The first phase was completed in November 2020. Phase one included the installation of the steel gantries over the highway and/or exit/entrance ramps and state of the art equipment to scan E-ZPass tags and capture license plate information.
2. The second phase of the project began after cashless tolling was operational system-wide in November 2020. It includes the removal of the toll plazas and realignment and repaving of the exit/entrance ramps.

In 2018, seven fixed toll barriers on the Thruway were converted to cashless tolling.
