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.

“But however the forms of family life have changed and the number expanded, the role of the family has remained constant and it continues to be the major institution through which children pass en route to adulthood.”
—Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)
“Everything to which we concede existence is a posit from the standpoint of a description of the theory-building process, and simultaneously real from the standpoint of the theory that is being built. Nor let us look down on the standpoint of the theory as make-believe; for we can never do better than occupy the standpoint of some theory or other, the best we can muster at the time.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
