This section of I-287 ties into the New York Thruway mainline (I-87) just across the New York state line at Suffern. Interstates 87 & 287 combine east along the New York Thruway to Nyack and the tolled Tappan Zee Bridge across the Hudson River. Major construction is underway to replace the aging Tappan Zee Bridge with a new cable-stayed bridge. Work runs through 2018, with traffic shifting onto one half of the new span by mid 2017.
From the 1952 to 1972, the Goethals Bridge carried Route 439 from New Jersey to New York. The I-278 designation was added to the bridge in 1958, when the Interstate was routed through Staten Island via the Goethals Bridge and the (then-proposed) Verrazano-Narrows Bridge.
