Dump Truck Turns Over Blocking Entrance Ramp On I-84 Westbound, Stopping Traffic For Hours on Friday Morning

Those trying to get to Newburgh re-routed by going on I-84 east to the Fishkill exit, turning around and traveling to Newburgh by going under the overpass.

By 10:30am, a tow truck had arrived to try to turn the truck upright. By 12pm, the truck was still in the middle of the ramp, and its contents seemed to have spilled out over the guard rail. The contents look like gravel.

Earlier in August, a dump truck carrying gravel turned over on the Tappan Zee Bridge.

This morning in Beacon, traffic was blocked on the entrance ramp to I-84 westbound on the Newburgh/Beacon Bridge when a dump truck turned over in the middle of the ramp. Traffic was backed up Wolcott heading into Beacon as of 9:30am at least. ALBB was told that the driver is fine.
