NYS Thruway Rest Area Reopens in Ramapo

The New York State Thruway Authority has reopened the new Ramapo Service Area (I-87 southbound, mile marker 33) in Sloatsburg, NY, marking the completion of two-thirds of the $450 million private investment to redevelop and modernize all 27 Thruway service areas. The Ramapo Service Area is the 18th new service area to open to Thruway customers and is located in a busy tourist and commuter corridor that is traveled by more than 90,000 vehicles per day.

“We are excited that the Service Area Project continues to progress, with two new service areas now available to customers this week, just in time for the upcoming busy Summer travel season,” Thruway Authority Executive Director Frank G. Hoare said. “In honor of the Thruway’s 70th anniversary this year, this project is just one of the many initiatives we are undertaking to enhance and modernize the Thruway system, ensuring a better and more efficient experience for all travelers.”

The Scottsville Service Area (I-90 eastbound mile marker 366) in Monroe County reopened to the public on June 25.
