Spac Show Tonight

Spoinny · #1 08-30-2011, 10:00 AM

Anyone else not able to make this show due to the Thruway being closed? I am in Syracuse and cannot travel the Thruway to Albany. The only other route is 81 south to 88 east which is closed in multiple locations. It would take me 6-7 hours for a 2.5 hour trip. SPAC said they antiicipate a lot of people not being able to make the show due to flooding and will consider refunds after 12pm.

Whoa...what part of the thruway? I am coming from Mass..

PastelGravel · #3 08-30-2011, 10:24 AM

That's awful...there's really no way to get here?

To all going:
UPDATE CLOSED TO TRAFFIC I-90 EXIT 34A-EXIT 25A.

Remains closed to traffic, severe flooding I-90 - NYS Thruway from milepost 276.5 to 158.8 between exit 34A and exit 25A is closed EASTBOUND. Expect severe delays approaching the closure area. Motorists are advised to avoid this region and to seek alternate routes. Motorists are advised to exit at Exit 34A, take I-481 SOUTH to 81 SOUTH, to I-88 EAST (to go around the I-88 bridge closure) exit at I-88 EXIT 22 to 145, to Route 7E, to ROUTE 30A, to return to I-88 EAST at EXIT 23, and re-enter the Thruway at Exit 25A.

Closed from Exit 34 (dewitt, near syracuse, near me!) to Amsterdam. Past Amsterdam is open, so coming from Mass shouldn't be a problem.

Already looked at re-routes, between the delays (becuase of all the traffic) and the re-routes WITHIN the re-route, it would take me close to 8-9 hours. AND I have to come back tonight to work tomorrow AM.

So, guess I don't get to see the show, majorly bummed right now! (especially as the weather is beautiful out).

Can you detour.

Spoinny · #10 08-30-2011, 11:08 AM

not enough time, esp as the show ends around 10 and It would take me 5 hours + to get home, and I have to work at 8am. If this was a weekend, I would make the trek, but it's a work night. Normally this trip takes 2.5 hours.

No offense, but I'd say to hell with it and go anyway. I've come all the way from westcoast Canada. Nothing would keep me away from getting there tonight. Are you SURE you don't want to try? Im so so sorry this is happening. So close yet so far away
