construction

The East Greenbush Police are asking for the public’s help to find a missing man.

UPDATE - June 22, 2012 at 7:45 p.m. The Fuller Road closures for the weekend could be a problem for some Albany area graduations.

A good portion of Campbell Avenue in Troy has been closed since February. This is due to the flooding that happened last year from Tropical Storm Irene. It was first closed back in January, 2012, but then reopened.

Construction on Fuller Road has been going on since April, 2011, and it’s still going on.

It closed for construction between Railroad Avenue and Washington Avenue on May 4, and it wasn’t supposed to be open until Monday, May 14.

Here's a great challenge for anyone who operates a forklift - and you know who you are.  This is your chance to show your great construction skills.  In fact, if you think you can copy this, I'll come out there and film you.

So I turn onto Fuller Road from Central Avenue in Colonie, and I see a sign that shows that "Fuller Road is closing from may 4 through May 14". I’m thinking, “you’ve got to be kidding?”

I travel just about every day on Fuller Road and Washington Avenue in Albany, just like so many of you. There’s plenty of construction going on, and there will be what I consider some major changes for those roads. I told you when it was ready to start in another story. After doing a little research, thanks to NYSDOT, I finally got a glimpse of what the final product should look like.

If you take the Patroon Island Bridge, Congress Street Bridge or Thaddeus Kosciuszko (Twin Bridges) to go to work, get ready for some delays.

If you need to travel around the Albany area, around Fuller Road near Washington Avenue in Albany in particular, you may want to find another route.

The stretch of Erie Boulevard from State Street to General Electric in Schenectady is a very wide stretch of road. That may be changing.

About six days ago, a construction crew snapped some power and telephone wires, and the phones have been out of order since then.
