Capital District
The crossing of the Schoharie Creek brings US 20 into the first of three counties that make up the greater Albany area. Here, development along the road increases and the road itself is often four lanes. The region is divided by the Hudson River, where US 20 begins its second-longest concurrency with US 9, the state's longest north–south US route.
