On March 11, 2025, two significant traffic incidents occurred in New York, impacting morning commuters. The first crash took place on I-87 Northway southbound, just past Exit 2E, near NY 5 eastbound and Wolf Road in Colonie. This incident resulted in the closure of the right shoulder, starting at 8:01 AM. Colonie, a bustling suburb of Albany, is known for its vibrant commercial areas and proximity to major roadways, making this incident particularly disruptive for local traffic.

Simultaneously, another crash was reported on I-890 westbound at Exit 4B and Exit 4C, near NY 5 and Erie Boulevard in Schenectady. The right shoulder was closed following the incident, which began at 7:59 AM. Schenectady, part of the Capital District, is a city rich in history and culture, with Erie Boulevard serving as a key thoroughfare for residents and visitors alike. The closure of the right shoulder on this busy stretch of road likely caused delays and congestion for those traveling through the area.

Both incidents highlight the importance of staying informed about traffic conditions, especially during peak travel times. The affected roadways, I-87 and I-890, are crucial links for commuters and travelers in the region, connecting various towns and cities across New York. Understanding the impact of these incidents can help drivers plan alternative routes and minimize disruptions to their daily routines.
