road closed

Troy's big Hollywood August starts a day early, with roads closing for the filming of a new TV show pilot before Gilded Age season two location shoots start.

About one year ago, almost to the day, a truck with a hydraulic lift plowed into the Sitterly Road overpass in Clifton Park. The road has been closed on and off for a year but now to actually replace the bridge and road, Sitterly Road will be closed all week.

There are a few inconveniences this weekend through the area of Cohoes and 787. There are some detours and prohibited routes for the entire weekend. Here's what you need to know.

I live on the Cohoes side of the Cohoes Waterford Bridge and I understand that it needs to be replaced. I don't understand, however, why they have to shut down the entire area for every weekend in July.

If you have to venture through downtown Albany at any point, especially in the area of Madison Avenue and New Scotland, you're probably having the same feelings I have been: "When is this sinkhole gonna be fixed!?!"

Let me just say, I'm not recommending this method for just anything, however, for a life or death situation such as this... it just may be brilliant! All of the women in a small town in Colombia have launched a SEX STRIKE . . . no one's getting any until the one road into town is fixed...
