The Mohawk Service Area along Interstate 90 Eastbound in Montgomery County has officially reopened, according to a recent announcement by the New York State Thruway Authority. Conveniently situated between Exit 27 (Amsterdam – NY Route 30) and Exit 26 (Schenectady – Scotia – I-890 – NY Routes 5 & 5S), the revamped rest stop is the latest update in a sweeping redevelopment effort across the Thruway system.
Part of a $450 Million Project
This site marks the 25th service stop to reopen under the $450 million initiative to remodel and elevate all 27 service areas on the New York State Thruway. It’s important to note that this transformation is entirely funded by private investment, with no toll or tax dollars used in the construction.
Frank G. Hoare, Esq., the Executive Director of the Thruway Authority, expressed the importance of this milestone. “We’ve reached another milestone in the service area redevelopment project, as customers can now fully experience new service areas along I-90 from Albany to Buffalo, in both directions,” he shared. “Modernizing our transportation system is a priority for the Thruway Authority to improve the travel experience for customers and enhance safety and reliability.”
