ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) — A $19M infrastructure improvement project was announced on Tuesday, including full and partial depth repairs on I-90 in Albany and Schenectady Counties. The project covers roughly 40 lane miles east of exit 25 (Schenectady – I-890 – NY Routes 7 and 146) and east of exit 26 (Schenectady – Scotia – I-890 – NY Routes 5 and 5S).
The projects will repair between milepost 153.78 and milepost 161.3 using asphalt, as well as shoulder reconstruction. Drivers may see lane closures on the highway and traffic shifts while the project is underway. The project is expected to be completed in Spring 2025.
“New York continues to invest in a safer and modern transportation system by improving critical infrastructure statewide,” Governor Hochul said. “I-90 is a vital connector to communities across New York and the northeast, and the investment in this project will enhance safety and improve travel for motorists across the region.”
“We’re investing in our infrastructure and putting toll dollars to work with pavement improvement projects such as this one on the Thruway in the Capital Region,” said Thruway Authority Acting Executive Director Frank Hoare. “The improvements included in this project will provide needed upgrades and maintain a safe and reliable roadway for the thousands of motorists who travel on this stretch of I-90 every day.”
