787 corridor could soon get big upgrade

The area surrounding Interstate 787 could be getting a fresh renovation with more access to the Hudson River.

Gov. Kathy Hochul and Albany County leaders just unveiled a new study that could lead to major re-construction projects in the I-787 corridor.

The goal is to boost quality of life for the people who live near the river and interstate.

Officials want to give the public more ways to get around 787 and access the river. That would help riverfront businesses get more customers, and give locals more leisure activity options.

Albany County officials will be holding open house events for the public in the coming weeks to hear and see what the future of the I-787 corridor could be.
