The Palisades Interstate Parkway southbound is expected to close in Orange County from 7 p.m. Sunday, November 15 until 5 a.m. Monday between Long Mountain Circle and Exit 18 at U.S. Route 6, the state Department of Transportation announced.
The overnight closure in the Town of Highlands is for roadway striping and depends on weather. Motorists should follow the posted detour rather than selecting a route from the closure description alone, because road conditions and work timing can change.
Drivers can check 511NY before departure for current status. Extra time is especially useful for travelers connecting to early shifts, airports or long-distance routes, since a detour can place traffic on roads with different speeds and capacity.
The advisory is a planned-work notice, not a closure already in effect on Friday. Travelers should distinguish the Sunday-night window from daytime conditions and should slow down around crews and traffic-control equipment. The department notes that work-zone speeding fines are doubled and that repeated convictions can affect a driver's license. Commercial drivers should also allow time for route restrictions.
