The schedule is as follows: Thursday (Sept. 8), starting at 8 p.m., one right lane; at 9 p.m., two right lanes; and at 11:59 p.m., three right lanes.

The lanes will reopen at 4:30 a.m.

This affects the Thruway’s northbound exit 8A to the Tappan Zee Bridge.

Also Thursday, starting at 8 p.m. and ending on Friday, Sept. 9, at 5 a.m., the lane closures will affect the on-ramp of the Thruway’s exit 9.
