BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) â The New York State Thruway Authority is removing more toll booths along I-90 as it works towards fully-cashless tolling on the expressway.
The Thruway Authority announced Monday it s resuming toll plaza removal and interchange reconstruction this week and expects to complete the project by the end of summer this year.
Design-build contractor, Cashless Tolling Constructors, LLC, is set to start removing more toll booths this week at the following six interchanges:

Tollbooths on the Thruway have been a familiar sight for the last 66 years, but the days of seeing them are coming to an end.
Obviously, the big change came last year when the Thruway went to all cashless tolls and an automated system that would bill you for your tolls either through EZ Pass or by your license plate. Now the remnants of the old system are being erased from the Thruway. Some toll booths were dismantled and removed last year and others are slated to be removed this year.

The fact that the toll booths have remained standing even after switching to the new automated system has caused some confusion and slowdowns, especially for out-of-towners. I don t know how many times I ve been on the Thruway and started to slow down to go through the old toll booths and there s some out-of-state car stopped at a booth trying to figure out if they need to pay or get a ticket. To say it s frustrating would be an understatement. Plus, it s really dangerous.
