Route Description
I-687 was to begin at exit 5A of I-90 near the northern city line of Albany. The Interstate Highway, named the Northside–Northway Connection, would have proceeded generally northwestward through the town of Colonie, passing through a series of residential neighborhoods located to the west of Loudonville and to the northeast of Roessleville. Present-day Sand Creek Road approximates the proposed route. It would have had interchanges with Everett Road, Osborne Road, the proposed northward extension of the Crosstown Arterial (New York State Route 85 or NY 85), and Wolf Road before ending at exit 3 of the Adirondack Northway (I-87) south of Albany International Airport. The highway would have been 4.6 miles (7.4 km) long.

“no arranged terror: no forcing of image, plan,
or thought:
no propaganda, no humbling of reality to precept:
terror pervades but is not arranged, all possibilities
of escape open: no route shut,”
—Archie Randolph Ammons (b. 1926)
“God damnit, why must all those journalists be such sticklers for detail? Why, they’d hold you to an accurate description of the first time you ever made love, expecting you to remember the color of the room and the shape of the windows.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
