Major Traffic Issues For People In Downtown Albany On Wednesday

If you work in downtown Albany, you are going to need to plan on some travel problems in the area on Wednesday.

You may want to take a day off. If you had plans to go to downtown Albany, you may want to change your plans.

There are going to be several events going on. Those events include some activities in the Empire State Plaza Convention Center, visits by various groups to the New York State Capitol and a large rally. The rally will be taking place in East Capitol Park. Another issue on Wednesday is that there will be somewhere around 500 buses in the area.

All of the activity is going to create some major traffic delays and more parking issues than normal. This will all affect both the morning and afternoon commute. A story from the Troy Record includes a list of the road closures and parking restrictions. Emergency signs will be posted where parking will be prohibited.
