Coming
up to IH 890 from NY 5S |
) |
Same as above-Merging
into IH 890; NY 5 splits from the freeway ahead. |
) |
Coming up
on the GE plant. There are about 4 exits here; all with all sorts of tricky C-D and feeder road stoof. |
) |
You can see
the plant in this shot. Pretty huge, ain't it? |
) |
Further down
the road, you have more specific directions. This is an “A-B-C” junction because cardinal directions don't really apply. |
) |
On a viaduct
that crosses railway lines east of the GE plant; at JN 5 eastbound, here. Butterfly gantries are quite rare in NY. |
) |
Leaving the
viaduct, now heading to junction 6. |
) |
A
couple of typical overpasses between JNs 5 and 6.
Craig Street and Michigan Avenue respectively. You can look westbound near this point Here. |
) |
|
) |
The junction
with NY 7 East at JN 7 (neat how that works out, eh?) One alternate east-west route to the Thruway-if you don't mind a gazillion traffic lights from here to the Northway. NY 7 runs concurrently with IH 890 from here. |
) |
Between JNs
7 and 8. You're actually heading south; and on a wrong-way multiplex of IH 890 east and NY 7 west. Don't blame me if weird stoof happens, okay? |
) |
The Box Gantry
is slowly taking over in NY. This is a new gantry with old signs. Here's the old gantry. Also note the Thruway blazer on the gantry sine. You'll only see this in Dictrict(erm) REGION 1. |
) |
Another “A-B”
junction. Again, cardinal directions can't be applied. Also, hiding here is the Albany-Schenectady county line- a few feet ahead-just behind the EXIT 9 sine in the distance, as it happens. Note the junction plate for JN 9-on the left. Oops. |
) |
And we bid
a fond farewell to IH 890 and rejoin the Thruway. |
