Please keep yard debris off the Rail Trail

For the safety of those who use the Albany County Helderberg-Hudson Rail Trail, we kindly ask residents not to place yard debris along the trail.

We inspect the trail several times a week for trees and branches that may have fallen across the trail and to ensure fencing is in good repair If anything needs attention, a DPW crew is dispatched as quickly as possible.

Thank you for your support as we maintain the trail for the benefit and enjoyment of the entire Albany County community!

    Planning & Land Use

    Working with the Albany County Planning Board on local land use decisions


We are dedicated to providing construction and maintenance services for all County roadways, certain state highways and County-owned parks and recreation areas.

Our employees work on County roads every day.

  • During this work, traffic lanes may be narrowed or closed, and some traffic congestion may result.
  • In unusual cases, traffic may be detoured, and we may recommend that you use alternate routes.

Construction Projects

▲ Please drive slowly and safely through construction zones
▲ Please be patient
▲ Please pay attention to flaggers and traffic signs

Do not drive around road striping trucks while they are painting. If you see cones covering lines, those lines are newly painted and still wet. Do not drive over them.

Constructions projects are necessary. We complete them as quickly, and with as little impact to traffic, as possible.

Check our Lane Restrictions, Closures & Detours page and our Hauling & Placing and Pavement Recycling page to keep informed of how your drive may be affected.

 

Thank you

We very much appreciate your patience and understanding.

Feel free to call us at (518) 765-2055 for more details regarding any project, or for information regarding projects scheduled for construction in the future.
