New York State Highway Becomes A Disco At Night

As the good weather returns, the sun is starting to rise earlier here in New York State and your day may be starting earlier as well. If you travel a popular road in New York State before dawn, it may look more like a dance hall.

There are two seasons here in New York State; the winter and road construction season. Don't be surprised if there are more delays than ever this spring as more highways and roads are getting worked on.

But for commuters in the Western New York area, there are a handful of options to get in and out of Buffalo. The "Skyway" bridge on Route 5 is one of the main arteries in to Buffalo and has an apparent electrical issue.

I have traveled over the Skyway every morning for years and have never seen anything like this. I couldn't pass the opportunity to get a video.

The lights almost seemed to go on and off to the music that I had on my commute. The Skyway and I have a love-hate relationship. It is so much more convenient to travel from Hamburg to Buffalo with that bridge. However, I am not a big fan of heights so I just focus on the road or the cars in front of me. Going home I take the 190 to the Thruway and then the 219. WIMP!

But Thursday, even I had to slow down a bit and look at the blinking lights of the Skyway. It had to look pretty cool from a distance. If you were out on a boat on Lake Erie you would have seen a pretty spectacular light show.
