About Us:

The Governor Thomas E.

Dewey Thruway, built in the 1950s, is one of the nation’s longest toll roads and a pioneer in modern highway design.

Spanning 570 miles with 815 bridges and 27 service areas, it connects New York’s major cities, rural communities, and tourist destinations.

One-third of Thruway traffic comes from out of state, underscoring its regional importance.

The Thruway includes I-87, I-90, I-95, I-287, I-190, and more.

In 2020, it transitioned to a fully cashless tolling system, enhancing efficiency and convenience for millions of travelers.
