 After Interstate 88 was built through the area in the early 1980s, with an exit on Route 30A a mile north of the intersection serving both roads, Route 30 was likewise realigned to clear a corridor for the interstate.Its brief concurrency with NY 7 two miles (3.2km) northeast of the 30A junction was replaced with a four-way intersection, and a new, curved section along the hillside replaced the previous straight descent to the intersection.With the interstate access trucks began using that section of Route 30 more, sometimes having accidents at the bottom of the hill when their brakes failed.
