List of Unused Highways in New York - Capital District

Capital District

• The cancellation of the South Mall Arterial (U.S. Route 9 or US 9 and US 20) project east of the Dunn Memorial Bridge resulted in a stub end at the east end of the bridge. It was to extend to Interstate 90 (I-90) and be exit 8, where more stubs for a proposed interchange existed. Exit 8 has since been rebuilt as a trumpet interchange as an extension of New York State Route 43 (NY 43). The west end of the expressway abruptly ends at the Empire State Plaza, where there is a stub in the wide median. It would have extended to an interchange under or adjacent to Washington Park with another cancelled freeway, the Mid-Crosstown Arterial.

• The Mid-Crosstown Arterial was to run from I-787 to I-90. It would carry US 9W from I-787 to the proposed Washington Park interchange with the South Mall Arterial, US 9, and eventually to I-90. There is a stub of this freeway on US 9 just south of its interchange with I-90.

• Another set of ramp stubs on I-90 north of downtown were built for cancelled I-687. They have since been reused as an entrance for a business park (Corporate Woods Boulevard).
