Damaged Northway Overpass to be Replaced Next Summer
Back on April 14th, a boom lift on a truck trailer struck the Northway overpass of Sitterly Road damaging the structure. The bridge had to be demolished and was then replaced with a temporary structure. The Department of Transportation just announced that they will be replacing the bridge entirely with a wider and taller bridge on Sitterly Road.
The Sitterly Road bridge is a high-volume roadway that carries an average of fifteen thousand cars per day. It is a connector to Ellis Medicine Emergent & Urgent Care and connects Halfmoon to Clifton Park. The DOT says they will have to close Sitterly Road for up to two months next summer to completely replace it according to the Albany Business Review.

The two towns around Northway Exit 9 are anticipating extended local traffic disruptions because of the boom rig accident Wednesday morning that seriously damaged the Sitterly Road overpass over the Northway, closing that bridge indefinitely, pending repairs.
Two out of three Northway lanes re-opened before the Thursday morning commute, relieving the shocking wave of additional traffic on local roads that was seen after Wednesday morning’s crash, which abruptly closed all the southbound lanes but the situation on Thursday wasn’t anywhere near normal, either.

The 65,000-square-foot building is being constructed with a few added touches beyond selling and servicing cars, including a one-mile walking trail and rooftop event space.
Inside, there’s all the showroom and service space one could need, including 24 lifts, a carwash and two alignment racks for cars, plus a business center, kids room and sensory friendly space for customers.
