 I-84 was widened in both directions approaching the exit, a second overpass was added and the exit ramps were widened and signage improved.Around that time the two agencies also announced plans, and received federal funding, to redo the current exit 36 allowing traffic to go directly between I-84 and the Thruway instead of using a short stretch of NY 300, which by then was more heavily developed than it had been when the interstates were first built.The three-phase construction project was initialized in May 2003 and completed in December 2009.
