On January 29, 2025, at 8:37 AM, two separate traffic incidents were reported in New York, impacting major roadways and potentially affecting morning commutes. The first incident occurred on I-87 Northway northbound near Exit 19, close to NY 254 in the Glens Falls North area. This crash resulted in the closure of the left lane out of four, which could lead to significant delays for drivers traveling through this part of Warren County. Glens Falls is known for its proximity to the scenic Adirondack Mountains and serves as a gateway for travelers heading north towards Lake George and beyond.

Simultaneously, another crash was reported on I-890 eastbound just past Exit 7, near NY 7 in Rotterdam. This incident led to the closure of the left shoulder, which may cause disruptions for those commuting through Schenectady County. Rotterdam is a suburban town located near the city of Schenectady, known for its rich history and close-knit community. The area is a key transit point for those traveling to and from the Capital District, including Albany, the state capital.

Both incidents highlight the importance of staying informed about traffic conditions, especially during peak travel times. Motorists are advised to plan their routes accordingly and consider alternative paths to avoid potential congestion. These incidents underscore the need for vigilance and patience on the road, particularly in regions with high traffic volumes and frequent weather changes that can impact driving conditions.
