New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced a statewide effort across government to improve travel on state roadways through the July 4th holiday weekend. State and local law enforcement agencies will increase patrols to crack down on reckless and impaired driving statewide ahead of and during the holiday weekend. This campaign, funded by the Governor’s Traffic Safety Committee (GTSC), will run through Sunday, July 5. In addition, to relieve congestion and speed up travel during the busy holiday weekend, temporary lane closures will be suspended starting on Thursday.
“Have fun celebrating this historic holiday and the 250th anniversary of our nation’s independence, but do it responsibly,” Governor Hochul said. “New York is doing everything we can to make travel this weekend as smooth and safe as possible, but safety on the roads is a team effort. We have zero tolerance for reckless drivers who endanger others, so please have a plan if you will be drinking and do not drive impaired.”
Law enforcement officers across New York will conduct sobriety checkpoints and target dangerous and aggressive driving during what is considered the busiest travel weekend of the summer.
To help ease travel during the busy holiday weekend, temporary lane closures for road and bridge construction projects on New York State highways will be suspended from 6:00 a.m. Thursday, July 2, through 6:00 a.m. Monday, July 6. Drivers should be aware some work may continue behind permanent concrete barriers or for emergency repairs.
