I-90 reopens for passenger traffic

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) — The I-90 reopened to passenger traffic heading westbound from Exit 57 to the Pennsylvania state line late Saturday afternoon.

The ban on commercial vehicles from Exit 46 (outside of Rochester) to the Pennsylvania state line in both directions remained in effect as of late Saturday afternoon.

Part of the I-90 was closed until 5 p.m. Saturday, and multiple municipalities implemented travel restrictions and overnight parking bans during the winter storm this weekend that is expected to drop several feet of snow on the hardest-hit areas.

Additionally, a travel advisory has been issued for several municipalities in Southern Erie County, including West Seneca, Hamburg, Orchard Park, Lackawanna and more. The City of Buffalo and regions north are not under an advisory.

State of Emergency declared for much of WNY amid storm

See the parking ban updates below:

Town of Cheektowaga: The town has implemented its overnight parking ban (between 1 a.m. and 6 a.m. beginning early Saturday). The ban will last until April 1, 2025.

Town of Tonawanda: The town’s ban on overnight parking (between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m.) will begin at 2 a.m. on Sunday. The ban goes until March 15, 2025.

This weekend’s storm is the first major lake effect storm of the season. It is possible that some areas, especially in the areas of southern Erie County as well as Chautauqua, Cattaraugus and Wyoming counties, will see multiple feet of snow. A Lake Effect Snow Warning began in those areas at 7 a.m. Friday and lasts until 7 a.m. Monday.

No changes have been announced for Sunday night’s Buffalo Bills game against the San Francisco 49ers. While more than a foot of snow is expected near the stadium in Orchard Park prior to the game, snow could stop falling by kickoff.
