Attention new york and new england ncm caravans
One of the Moderators may want to make this a sticky
This is to give you folks a heads up. I don’t remember which caravan was utilizing I 84 as part of its route to Carlisle I know it was one of your groups. You may want to consider a change to your route as I 84 is down to one lane in both directions from NY Exit 2 to Exit 53 in Pennsylvania due to construction (guessing about a 6 mile run). This has been causing some pretty long back ups and the condition is likely to run into next year. As an alternative you could exit I 84 (I think it is still Exit 7B) for the NY State Thruway (I 87) south and utilize I 287 (New Jersey bound) to link up with either I 80 or I 78 into Pennsylvania.

Construction still continues, still trying to track down the lack of funding rumor.

Replacing the bridge over the Delaware River. Created a 10 mile back up Sunday night. Now the word is construction make be halted due to funding issues. You can use I 84 over the Newburgh/Beacon Bridge to the New York State Thruway (I 87). About 30 miles south you can pick up I 287 NJ bound (Exit 15). From there you can take either I 78 or I 80 into PA.

Lane Closures on I-84 in Port Jervis for Project Replacing Six Bridges Seek Alternate Routes for Peak Travel Times, Including Holiday Start/End
With the Independence Day weekend upon us, motorists are reminded that an eight-mile stretch of Interstate 84 in Port Jervis, Orange County, is reduced to one lane in each direction to accommodate work on a $40 million project to rehabilitate six eastbound and westbound bridges carrying I-84 over the Delaware and Neversink rivers, as well as over County Route 15 and County Route 16.
I-84 has been reduced from two lanes in each direction to one lane in each direction between Exit 1 (US 6/NJ 23) in New York State and Exit 53 (US 6/US 209) in Pennsylvania. Construction work began March 10 and these closures will remain in place through the end of this year. Motorists are being warned in advance of the closures via electronic message signs. Drivers should consider alternate routes during peak travel periods, including the start and end of this holiday weekend.
The State of Pennsylvania also has reconstruction work underway on I-84 adjacent to this project, reducing the highway to one lane in each direction from Exits 46 to 53.
Work will continue on the New York State project next year, with lane reductions in both directions on the new westbound bridges while the eastbound bridges are rehabilitated. The entire project is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2015.
Motorists are asked to use caution when traveling through the work area and pay particular attention to all traffic control devices, including work zone signs and flaggers.
Motorists are also reminded that fines are doubled for speeding in a work zone. In accordance with the Work Zone Safety Act of 2005, convictions of two or more speeding violations in a work zone could result in the suspension of the driver’s license.

Maybe someone who lives in the Pt Jervis area can let us know if this would be a good alternate. Looks like you can go around the whole mess with this detour they used when they closed the westbound lanes:
Interstate 84 westbound in Port Jervis will be closed Monday night July 28, 2014
The New York State Department of Transportation is advising motorists that Interstate 84 westbound in Port Jervis will be closed overnight Monday for bridge repairs between Exit 1 (Route 6/Route 23) in New York and Exit 53 (Route 6/US Route 209) in Pennsylvania.
Westbound traffic will be detoured from 11 p.m. Monday to 6 a.m. Tuesday.
The following are directions for the I-84 westbound detour, courtesy of the NYDOT:
- All westbound traffic will exit I-84 at Exit 1 and turn left onto Route 6/Slate Hill Road.
- Continue straight on Route 6/East Main Street for 1.8 miles.
- Turn left onto Route 6/Pike Street.
- Continue straight on Route 6/Pennsylvania Avenue for one mile.
- Turn left onto the ramp for I-84 westbound.
I-84 eastbound traffic will not be affected by the closures.
You can also pick up Rt 6 from exit #2

It is a slow go most of the time...if they're moving equipment it's slower. An accident.....plan on an hour plus, hey you'll get a long look at Port Jervis.
