The New York State Thruway Authority announced the new Clifton Springs Service Area (I-90 eastbound, mile marker 337) in Clifton Springs, is now open to the public. The location is the fifth new service area to open to Thruway customers as part of the $450 million project to redevelop and modernize all 27 Thruway service areas.

The Clifton Springs Service Area is located on I-90 eastbound between exit 43 (Manchester) and exit 42 (Geneva). The facility is more than 20,000 square feet, making it nearly triple the size of the first three locations to open.

With the opening of the Clifton Springs Service Area, the Port Byron Service Area (I-90 eastbound, mile marker 310) is now closed for construction. Fuel services remain available at all service areas during construction.

All 27 service areas are being redeveloped in a $450 million project with Empire State Thruway Partners. The project is funded through a public-private partnership and no toll or tax dollars are being used for construction.

Customers can learn more about the redevelopment project on the Thruway Authority’s website dedicated to the project and its developments. Customers can view a project map, photo gallery and renderings and more information about the planned amenities and services.
