Similar to what still exists today with the New Jersey portion of Interstate 95, Interstate 287 was long disjointed due to community opposition. The New York stretch effectively ended at Suffern, and the New Jersey portion at U.S. Route 202 near Boonton, with a large gap between.

Route description

Although Interstate 287 is an auxiliary route of Interstate 87, both of its termini are located at Interstate 95. It is the only three-digit interstate which goes through more states than its parent route — I-87 is an intrastate interstate.


New York

Working counter-clockwise, I-287 begins in Port Chester, New York at the New England Thruway (Interstate 95) with an East/West designation until the New Jersey State Line. It is also called the Cross-Westchester Expressway until the New York State Thruway merge. Once merged with the northbound Thruway (and northbound Interstate 87), it crosses the Tappan Zee Bridge over the Hudson River between Tarrytown and Nyack, and continues west to Suffern. It then leaves the Thruway (and Interstate 87) and crosses the New Jersey border. Port Chester is a village in Westchester County, New York, United States. ...

Legal Definition


The New York section of I-287 is defined as Interstate Route Connections 520 and 525 in New York Highway Law § 340-a.


New Jersey

Beginning at the New York-New Jersey state line in Mahwah Township, it receives a North/South designation like its parent Interstate 87 and begins its run south, cutting through hills and mountains. Between Mahwah Township and the Boro of Oakland/Boro of Franklin Lakes, the freeway has 2 lanes in each direction. South of Exit 59, the freeway has 3 lanes in each direction, and goes through a steep valley (over a bridge). Due to the high elevations, the freeway (at some points) has an extra 4th lane to accommodate for slower automobile traffic. Map highlighting Mahwahs location within Bergen County. ...

The freeway then intersects Interstate 80 in Parsippany-Troy Hills Township, and then accommodates up to at least 5 lanes in each direction. It continues further south, through Morristown (where the lanes are 3-4 in each direction) and eventually to Bedminster Township, where it intersects Interstate 78. At this point, I-287 then splits into an interesting dualized roadway configuration. The roadway splits for about 2-3 miles, continuing into Bridgewater Township. At the interchange for US 202-206, both roadways have exit ramps towards 202/206, and then it become a 4-lane freeway. The highway then curves southeast, heading towards Perth Amboy. Once I-287 crosses the Raritan River between Exits 10 and 9 (heading south) it becomes the Middlesex Freeway. However, the I-287 signage ends at the interchange for the New Jersey Turnpike (Interstate 95) in Edison Township, New Jersey; however, the roadway continues as Route 440 towards Staten Island.

Notes

I-287 is known, even after rush hour, to have congestion problems (in New Jersey), namely the portion that traverses through Bedminster and Bridgewater. In due time, the freeway is expected to see some improvements in the Bridgewater area. The exit for US 202-206 is expected to be upgraded in the future. This article needs additional references or sources for verification. ...


The entire New York section is operated by the New York State Thruway Authority, although only the section shared with I-87 is part of the mainline Thruway. The rest of the NY section is called the Cross-Westchester Expressway. No tolls exist on this portion, and signs mentioning the Thruway Authority are rare along its length. This arrangement was similar to that of Interstate 84 in New York, prior to October 30, 2006.

In New York, Thruway exits 8 and 8A and Cross-Westchester Expressway exit 1 are now combined in one interchange. Formerly, there were two separate interchanges: Thruway interchange 8, to the Cross-Westchester, and Cross-Westchester exit 1 (Saw Mill River Parkway to/from north only (use Thruway interchange 7A for to/from south), with access only to/from west (use interchange 3 for access to/from the east)). Due to the recent rebuilding of interchange 8, all traffic from I-287 east must remain on the Thruway beyond point where I-287 leaves it and exit at 8A, which leads to what appears to be a service road for the CWX, but ends up leading to the Saw Mill. However, to reach I-287 west from the Saw Mill south, one must merge with I-287 before merging with the Thruway (no 8A).

In New Jersey, 287 is an important interstate that links Mahwah Township, New Jersey to the New Jersey Turnpike in Edison Township. Plus the freeway is one of the most heavily traveled freeways to be utilized by tractor-trailers (in the state of New Jersey), as it connects Interstate 87/New York State Thruway in Suffern, New York to Interstate 95/New Jersey Turnpike in Edison Township, New Jersey.

Past plans

I-287 was to continue past I-95 in Port Chester and was to cross Long Island Sound via the (unbuilt) Oyster Bay-Rye Bridge and absorb the Seaford Oyster Bay Expressway (NY 135). Then, I-287 was again to be extended into Jones Beach by merging with the Wantagh State Parkway in Merrick. These plans were dropped as a result of community opposition and environmental concerns. Evidence of this exists at the northern end of NY 135 at exit 14 (NY 25) where there is an incomplete cloverleaf interchange and the southern end at exit 1 where there is a non-conventional interchange with Merrick Road.[2] New York City waterways: 1. ...

Missing link

I-287's uncompleted section between Mahwah and Montville was the source of a great deal of controversy dating back at least to 1965, and continuing on through its opening in 1993. Property owners along the proposed route fought its completion as part of the freeway revolts of the 1960s and 1970s. Eventually, a route was agreed upon and permits allowing construction to begin were issued in 1988. However, officials in Rockland County, New York, filed a lawsuit on November 19, 1993, hours before the highway's official ribbon-cutting, seeking to block its opening, claiming the incompete interchange with the New York State Thruway was inadequate to handle the additional traffic. That interchange was not completed until late the following year, but the highway nevertheless opened as planned. The Freeway Revolts (sometimes expressway revolts) refer to a phenomenon encountered in the United States in the 1960s and 1970s, where planned freeway construction in many U.S. cities was halted due to widespread public opposition; especially of those whose neighborhoods would be disrupted or displaced by the proposed freeways. ...

It was widely speculated in New Jersey at the time that then-Governor James Florio sought the highway's premature unveiling to bolster his ultimately unsuccessful re-election campaign.[citation needed] Ultimately, however, the opening did not occur until over two weeks following the gubernatorial election, negating any impact it may have had.

Tappan Zee Improvement

Due to the congestion along I-287 and the aging and decay of the over fifty-year old Tappan Zee Bridge, talks have begun regarding the possibility of replacing the bridge. A variety of transportation improvements are currently being considered, including a commuter rail system that would link the western shore of the Hudson River with Westchester County and New York City. Several alternatives are being considered to replace the bridge.[3] Currently, the favored alternative is a cable-stayed span.
