Not since May last year. I did say they were working on it, but I'll bet the first 10 miles out of Binghampton are still bone-jarring. But that's east bound and the OP is west bound.
The first two miles past the city are still rather bad, but the rest of that stretch is now new pavement (as of the weekend after Thanksgiving). I-88 may not be the best maintained highway in the nation, but right now I see no reason to categorically avoid it.
(I personally would not have categorized it as bone-jarring previously, but standards and vehicles do differ quite a bit. I suppose my scale is probably rather skewed by living in areas where some local roads have horrendous frost heaves in the spring.)
