  New York State Thruway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The New York State Thruway (officially the Governor Thomas E. Dewey Thruway) is a limited-access toll highway in the U.S. state of New York.
Built in the 1950s by the State of New York in order to connect the major cities of New York, it is the longest toll road in the United States, with the 496-mile (793 km) mainline extending from the Pennsylvania/New York State border in the west to the Bronx in the east.
By December 1996 it was implemented at all toll barriers on the Thruway.

 New York State Thruway (I-87 and I-287)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
In late 1957, the mainline thruway route was extended 70 miles west along the Lake Erie shoreline to the Pennsylvania border.
The thruway was connected to the rest of the "eastern turnpike complex," the network of pre-Interstate era tollways that were constructed during the 1940's and 1950's in the Northeast and Midwest.
The "Hudson" (later New York State) Thruway was to parallel the Saw Mill River Parkway in the western corridor, while the "New England" Thruway was to parallel the Hutchinson River Parkway in the eastern corridor.

 New England Thruway (I-95)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
The route of the New England Thruway was to be on the northerly side of the New York and New Haven Railroad (now the Amtrak-Metro North New Haven rail line), along land acquired by Westchester County in the late 1920's for the never-built Pelham-Port Chester Parkway.
In 1980, the exits on the New England Thruway were renumbered in sequential order, continuing the exit numbering sequence of I-95 along the Trans-Manhattan, Cross Bronx and Bruckner expressways (which received their exit numbers in the early 1970's).
Some of the highlights of the project were the conversion of the New Rochelle toll plaza from two-way tolls to northbound-only tolls during the late 1980's, and the replacement of the Hutchinson River drawbridge with a new high-level bridge in 1996.

 The Thruway Authority Comes Across Royally
In 1951, before construction began, the Thruway Authority was made aware of its major predecessor by arranging for a walking tour for Thruway officials conducted by Schenectady City Historian William Efner and GE scientist, conservationist and historian Vince Schaefer.
The Thruway Authority didn't get involved with its historic predecessor again until 1993 when Save the Pine Bush cosponsored the first ever National Trails Day hike in Albany to bring attention to the historic significance of the Kings Road and to the ecological importance of its unique surroundings.
The Thruway Authority had initially hoped that the Commission might chip in for the cost of this redesign but this was neither possible nor practical, so the Thruway Authority payed the entire cost of approximately $70,000.

 Niagara Falls Reporter Opinion
The Thruway Authority can certainly afford it, particularly after jacking up the rates on a roadway that was supposed to become toll-free nearly a decade ago.
The tolls were initiated to pay off the bonds used to build the Thruway in the 1950s and state officials swore up and down that, as soon as that debt was satisfied, New York would join most other states in maintaining its roads with all the other taxes already being collected.
But while tolls on the bulk of the Thruway rose 25 percent for passenger vehicles and 35 percent for commercial traffic, drivers who use the I-190 got socked with a 50 percent hike.
