Route 9

If you look up in the sky today in the Capital Region you may see a rare sight. Black hawk helicopters will be hovering over the area for a very important reason. Why Will We See Black Hawk Helicopters In The Skies? The New York Army National Guard's black hawk helicopter crews are gearing up for some wildfire training drills...

State Police said the arrest happened on Route 9.

A unique job opportunity has arisen that could take you across the entire country.

A Hudson Valley McDonald's location will be serving up rare menu items unavailable anywhere else for just one day only.

These devices have been popping up all across the Hudson Valley. Here's why.

Besides "Stewart's is closed," and "Route 9 is backed up," there are few phrases that will send any Hudson Valley resident into a fit. There are certain words and phrases; however, that are ruining our relationships without us even realizing it.

Back in October, the Powerball was a whopping $1.76 billion, and although no one from New York won that enormous jackpot, someone in Upstate New York was holding a $1 million ticket. We now know who that lucky winner is, well sort of.

Route 9 in Clifton Park continues to grow. With it comes some new configurations for the heavy traffic problem. As the town addresses those issues, a new building may be going up on Route 9 where the old Giffy's Bar-B-Q once stood.

Yuck

There are Stewart's Shops all over Upstate New York. Some of them have been renovated and others have not. There is one in Saratoga County that has been well overdue for an upgrade. It will be renovated, but it will also be in a new, bigger location.

If you were tied up in traffic on Route 9 this morning, here's why.

There are thirty-seven acres that are slated to be sold in a prime area along Route 9/Loudon Road in Cohoes. It's a peculiar area because even though Oreshan Farm has been there for years, housing developments around it have been booming. There are plans to build more housing at that farm, but a lawsuit says, "not so fast".

If you travel along Route 9 in Halfmoon, you know that there has been a lot of work being done on the old Romano's restaurant and more recently a meeting place for the NXIVM cult. This was a cult that had headquarters in the Albany area and the heads of NXIVM lived in Halfmoon. It will be a brand new restaurant and we now know when it will open.

As you can tell, the disk is very large spilling over into the two lanes of Route 9 heading north. I guess when you need four troopers to escort you, it's either for safety or national security.

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.

We each have plenty of memories at that space and finally, after sitting empty for a couple of years, we finally know what we can expect there.
