The New York State Thruway Authority operates a 570-mile toll facility known for its dependability and safety. The Thruway is one of the longest toll roads in the nation.The Thruway is a vital commercial link for New York's largest cities and for the entire Northeast. About one-third of all vehicles using the Thruway are from out of state.The mainline of the Thruway extends 426 miles, from New York City to Buffalo (I-87 and I-90). Other elements of the system include the New England Thruway (I-95), the Cross Westchester Expressway (I-287), the Garden State Parkway Connector, the Berkshire Connector (I-90), the Niagara Thruway (I-190), and the Erie Section (I-90).The New York State Thruway is an independent public corporation created in 1950 by the New York State Legislature. The first section of the highway opened in 1954, a 115-mile section near Rochester.In 1964, the highway system was re-named "The Governor Thomas E. Dewey Thruway" to recognize vision and leadership of the former governor (1943-1954) in the creation of the cross-state superhighway.
