ROAD SERVICE UPDATE — CLOSEOUT

The Tarrytown I-87 North crash notice has cleared from 511NY. Use the live list for a new trip.

The northbound crash record after Exit 9, which had listed the right lane blocked, was no longer in the complete 1:54 p.m. 511NY incident list. The public record does not provide the exact clearing time or final outcome.

Original closeout card by The Rockland Edit, based on the complete 1:54 p.m. 511NY incident list. Record removal is not a verified reopening time or documentary evidence.

What the public record says now

  • Earlier record: I-87 northbound after Exit 9 at Tarrytown and Route 9, before Exit 10.
  • Start time: 12:24 p.m.; the right lane was listed blocked at 12:50 p.m.
  • Record ID: CARS CAD-262860182.
  • 1:54 p.m. check: the record was absent from the complete 27-item incident list.
  • Not established: an exact clearing time, reopening time, traffic speed, cause or final outcome.
  • Best next step: use live 511NY information before a new trip because conditions can change after this closeout.

How to use this closeout

The earlier right-lane warning is no longer current trip guidance. If your trip uses northbound I-87 through Tarrytown toward the bridge, open the live 511NY incident list ↗ before leaving. Removal of a record does not prove that residual congestion has ended.

What is not confirmed

511NY did not publish an exact clearing or reopening time, cause, crash severity, injury information, vehicle details or final traffic condition. The Rockland Edit did not independently observe the crash, lane closure or resolution.

Keep the two Tuesday records separate

This closeout applies only to the northbound Tarrytown record that began at 12:24 p.m. The separate southbound crash before Exit 10 in South Nyack, which began at 6:43 a.m., remained in the 1:54 p.m. list without a blocked lane posted.

What changes for a resident: the earlier right-lane warning after Exit 9 is no longer current guidance. Use live 511NY information before a new trip because record removal does not guarantee that residual congestion has ended.

Primary source: the 511NY incident list ↗, checked October 13, 2026, at 12:50 and 1:54 p.m. EDT. The complete 18-item list at 12:50 carried a New York State Thruway Authority crash record for I-87 northbound after Exit 9 at Tarrytown and Route 9, before Exit 10, beginning at 12:24 p.m., with the right lane blocked and CAD number 262860182. The complete 27-item list across two pages at 1:54 no longer carried that record. It still carried the separate southbound South Nyack record that began at 6:43 a.m. The Rockland Edit does not infer an exact clearing time, reopening time, cause, injury outcome or final traffic condition from a record's disappearance.
