construction

About one year ago, almost to the day, a truck with a hydraulic lift plowed into the Sitterly Road overpass in Clifton Park. The road has been closed on and off for a year but now to actually replace the bridge and road, Sitterly Road will be closed all week.

It seems like we may never get a Costco in the Capital Region. The plans have been submitted and construction was supposed to begin but there are a lot of residents and a non-profit that have raised concerns. Just recently there was another meeting, this time in front of an appeals panel.

Let construction season continue. There is a long stretch of Route 9 that will be getting a makeover which means lane closures through Malta and part of Saratoga. The New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) will begin resurfacing that part of the roadway starting today.

If you have traveled the Northway at all in the past few months, you know that the construction is a nuisance. But you may have also noticed that they have made significant progress. Officials say they are ahead of schedule.

A lot of revitalization is happening downtown there has been construction on the exit of 787 onto Clinton Avenue, its all part of a bigger initiative to improve downtown Albany.

There is already a ton of roads being worked on across the Capital Region. The New York State Department of Transportation wants to let you know when and where road work is being done.

Roadwork and reconstruction of Cohoes Boulevard has begun. There are some days and times this week that you should be aware of if you are heading through this construction zone.

It looks as if millions has been secured for upgrades on a Northway exit that will lead to easier access to the Albany International Airport.

It seems like forever ago that we heard about the idea of the Albany Skyway. We heard that it was officially happening and a sketch and then nothing. Well, finally we have an update on where it stands and when we can expect construction.

I know this has happened to you. You are driving down the road and all of a sudden you see this black long tube all the way across it. You drive over it with no problem but then you wonder, what the heck is that black tube used for and why on this road?

I don't think we're ever going to see an Exit 3 but your rush hour commute may be affected by these new construction plans for next year.

Farewell to yet another staple of the town of Latham, Latham Circle Mall.  The mall has been dead for years & demolition began in March to tear the old mall down to bring two outdoor shopping centers, The Shoppes of Latham.
