Originally when the NYS Thruway was built through Albany, they acquired land and graded ramps to New Scotland and Delaware Avenue. I don't know if this was originally part of a local highway, but the ramps have long been removed and replaced with housing and other buildings and are no longer owned by the Thruway Authority. Aerial photography on the left is from 1952.

And the general area around New Scotland and Holland Avenue, with the various changes over the year.
