exit 3

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.

Just when you thought that life in the Capital Region couldn't get any better, it was recently announced that we're getting an Exit 3.  Brian and Chrissy rejoiced in the news by singing a song about the 518's latest triumph!

I know you noticed it, it's Capital Region lore at this point. You're driving on the Northway passing Exit 5...Exit 4...and all of a sudden you're at Exit 2. You knew it didn't exist but have you ever wondered why we have no Exit 3?

I did a blog wondering why there is no exit 3 of the Northway. There were plans to build one, but now we know there won’t be.

I have always wondered why there was never an exit 3 on I-87, better know as the Adirondack Northway. As we drive up and down the Northway, we get to that part of the highway between Central Avenue and Albany-Shaker Road in Colonie.
