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.

“What seems to us serious, significant and important will, in future times, be forgotten or won’t seem important at all.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
“The past is of no importance. The present is of no importance. It is with the future that we have to deal. For the past is what man should not have been. The present is what man ought not to be. The future is what artists are.
The facts: nothing matters but the facts: worship of the facts leads to everything, to happiness first of all and then to wealth.”
—Edmond De Goncourt (1822–1896)
“We live in an age when to be young and to be indifferent can be no longer synonymous. We must prepare for the coming hour. The claims of the Future are represented by suffering millions; and the Youth of a Nation are the trustees of Posterity.”
—Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)
