Thruway Authority announces $6.3 million NYS Route 7 rehabilitation project
On May 14, 2026, the New York State Thruway Authority announced that the $6.3 million project to rehabilitate the NYS Route 7 bridge over the Thruway (I-90) (milepost 158.54) in Schenectady County is underway. The New York State Department of Transportation is a funding partner with the New York State Thruway Authority on the project.
“The NYS Route 7 bridge is a busy connector in the Schenectady area and is receiving essential upgrades to enhance safety and reliability for decades to come,” said New York State Thruway Authority Executive Director Frank G. Hoare, Esq. “The Thruway Authority reinvests toll revenue back into the system, modernizing our transportation network and improving travel for motorists while continuing to be one of the safest superhighways in the nation.”
“The Department of Transportation and Thruway Authority are committed to this important rehabilitation project in Schenectady County that will help keep New Yorkers moving safely across the Capital Region,” said New York State Department of Transportation Commissioner Marie Therese Dominguez. “By making smart, targeted investments in critical infrastructure that is vital to commuters, commercial drivers and tourists, we are keeping communities connected and ensuring that everyone has access to the jobs, destinations and opportunities that make New York a great place to live.”
