NYSDOT I-87 Exit 4 Scoping and Design
CHA investigated alternatives for improved interchange access and mobility between I-87 (Adirondack Northway), the Albany International Airport and the Wolf Road commercial corridor. This $25 million project involved the development and evaluation of alternatives at a concept-level to determine feasibility, potential environmental/community impacts, benefits and costs.
The concepts included new connector roads, evaluations of key intersections for conversion to roundabouts, options for a new interchange, and options for modifications/improvements at Interchanges 4 and 5. Pedestrian and bicycle accommodations in the corridor were also an integral consideration of the alternatives. Feasible alternatives were advanced for study and preliminary design for the Environmental Impact Statement.
