Gov. Hochul announces lifesaving measures coming to I-84 following deadly bus crash

Gov. Kathy Hochul announced the final details of the plan to add a crash gate to the interstate Wednesday following the deadly bus crash in Waywayanda.

The State Department of Transportation will design and install a new entranceway and access gate at the County Route 49.

This change will provide emergency service vehicles direct, faster access to I-84.

The town of Waywayanda will maintain the entranceway and ramp going forward.

Firefighters have been calling for the gate for more thanĀ 20 years.

Construction will begin this spring.
