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.

Getting There: Stoplights and stop signs

Q:
I’ve been curious about these two traffic questions for some time:
Driving north on Route 9 in Colonie, does the left-turn signal at Maxwell Road have any rationale for its operation? Sometimes the light has a left turn signal and sometimes not. Time of day seems to have little bearing.
This one is an open debate between bride and groom at this house. Driving on Northern Boulevard south past the former Livingston School, you bear right to a stop sign and merge with I-90 traffic at Livingston Avenue. After proceeding beyond the stop sign, who must yield as the two lanes merge?

CLIFTON PARK The town of Clifton Park is moving forward with a plan to convert more than 600 streetlights to LED technology, saving the town several million dollars in electricity costs over the next 20 years.
Conversion work is expected to start shortly, after the state Public Service Commission approved the town’s agreements with National Grid and New York State Electric and Gas. Some lights on Clifton Country Road and the western end of Ushers Road have already been converted as part of a pilot program, and the rest are expected to be converted by the end of the summer.
