I-86 relation The section of I-84 between East Hartford, Connecticut, (at the present-day junction with I-384) and Sturbridge, Massachusetts, (I-90) was signed in the late 1970s and early 1980s as I-86 (unrelated to present-day I-86 in New York and Pennsylvania). Signs stating "I-84 Ends, I-86 to Boston" (eastbound) and "I-86 Ends, I-84 to Hartford" (westbound) were posted where the change took place. Exit numbering on I-86 was that of the road's predecessor, Route 15, in a sequence beginning on New York's Hutchinson River Parkway. Exits were renumbered to correspond with the rest of I-84 in Connecticut when the road was redesignated in 1984. The present I-384 as well as the present US 6 bypass near Willimantic, both of which were a part of what was then I-84's planned easterly continuation, were also numbered I-84 prior to 1984 even though they lacked any direct connection to the rest of I-84 at that time. (Drivers had to use Silver Lane in East Hartford to travel between the two stretches of the highway.) These two sections were re-numbered I-384 and US 6 when what was then I-86 numbering reverted to I-84. Tolls As I-84 was built with federal funds, there are generally no highway tolls. The exception is I-84's Hudson River crossing, the Newburgh–Beacon Bridge. Since the bridge is under the New York State Bridge Authority, it carries an eastbound-only toll of $1.75 for passenger vehicles. Transfer to New York State Thruway Authority From 1992 through 2006, I-84 in New York was a toll-free component of the New York State Thruway system. It was transferred by NYSDOT to the New York State Thruway Authority (NYSTA) in order to capitalize on that agency's steady revenue stream from upstate sources. In 1992, maintenance responsibility for I-84 in New York was transferred to the NYSTA and the monies for that purpose came from existing tolls on I-190 in downtown Buffalo, more than away. On October 30, 2006, the NYSTA began the process of returning maintenance and operation responsibilities to NYSDOT and the tolls in Buffalo were discontinued. The I-190 tolls were considered to be one of the principal causes of highway congestion in Buffalo. From 2006 to 2010, maintenance was performed by the NYSTA with funding provided by the state legislature. On October 11, 2010, NYSDOT resumed full control of I-84. Widening projects in
