This. The thruway is wide open on either side and a lot less protected than the secondary roads (in general but especially that section they closed). Big winds > big trucks, thats the main concern. Saw it yesterday on top of the dam where Im at this week for work, box truck caught in a crazy crosswind off the reservoir and almost got blown off the dam. Wish I had my camera, it was pretty nuts.
PS Now if you wanna rant about all of these lovely “seasonal speedbumps”, Im all for that! I thought 146 in CP was bad, Sulivan County is ridiculous. By the time Im done working down here Im gonna need to add suspension components and fillings to my expenses
