ROAD SERVICE UPDATE — CLOSEOUT

The Woodbury I-87 crash notice has cleared. Use live 511NY for a new trip.

The northbound I-87 crash record that had listed the left and center lanes blocked before the Woodbury Toll Barrier was no longer in the 3:17 p.m. Saturday incident feed. The public record does not provide the exact reopening time.

Closeout graphic by The Rockland Edit, based on the 3:17 p.m. incident feed. It reports the removal of the public record—not a verified lane-reopening time, a live traffic photograph or an official detour map.

What the archive shows

  • Road and direction: I-87 / New York State Thruway northbound.
  • Location: before the Woodbury Toll Barrier.
  • Earlier lane status: left and center lanes had been listed blocked.
  • Start time: 1:28 p.m. Saturday, October 10.
  • Last confirmed active: 2:30 p.m.
  • Removed from the feed by: 3:17 p.m.
  • Never posted: exact reopening time, detour, queue length, vehicles involved or injury information.

For a new trip

This page is now a timestamped archive. The earlier notice clearing from the feed does not guarantee that every traffic effect ended at 3:17 p.m. Before driving north, reopen the 511NY incident list ↗ and follow current directions from police or Thruway crews.

What the closeout does not establish

The feed did not post an exact reopening time or a final incident outcome. It also did not state whether anyone was injured. Those details should not be inferred from the record's removal.

What changes for a resident: the earlier two-lane blockage should no longer be treated as an active alert, but anyone making a new trip should still use current 511NY information rather than this archived incident page.

Primary source: the 511 active-incident feed ↗. The NYS Thruway Authority record was still present at 2:30 p.m. and was absent from the 3:17 p.m. feed checked October 10, 2026. This closeout reports the public record's removal, not an independently confirmed lane-reopening time.
