787

'This building was just so inspiring'.

An unused highway ramp and an eyesore near Albany are finally going to be used as a walkway and bike path to downtown Albany. Construction will begin this month on the seldom-used ramp and be finished by the end of the year. This is part of the revitalization of the downtown Albany area to create an easier way for pedestrians and bicyclists to access the city.

Road construction crews will be out starting today (Tuesday, February, 4th) repairing potholes along 787 and Route 9. Expect some delays and rotating lane closures.
