Future
NY 149 was upgraded in the late 2000s between Martindale Road in Queensbury and the Washington County line. The project included the straightening of several curves and leveling of some depressions in the grade. Planning for the project began in mid-2006, and opening bids started in late 2008. Construction began in early 2009 and was expected to be completed in mid-2010. The project cost $8.6 million in federal and state funding. NYSDOT has also opened a webpage for a future project to widen the intersection between US 4 and NY 149 in the village of Fort Ann. Development of the $1.1 million project was expected to begin in late 2009; however, it has been postponed indefinitely.
