"The "Adirondack Northway" is the designation given to the current I-87 stretch from Albany to the Canadian border, running through Albany, Saratoga, Warren, Essex and Clinton counties in upstate New York. Commonly referred to as simply "the Northway," this interstate highway stretch was constructed through a series of extensions beginning in 1957 and lasting a decade until its final connection in 1967. The road to completion, however, was not a smooth one, and plans for the northernmost sections of the Adirondack Northway were met with much opposition."
