Glens Falls is a city in Warren County, New York, United States and is the central city of the Glens Falls Metropolitan Statistical Area. The population was 14,700 at the 2010 census. The name was given by Colonel Johannes Glen, the falls referring to a large waterfall in the Hudson River at the southern end of the city.
Glens Falls is a city in the southeast corner of Warren County, surrounded by the town of Queensbury to the north, east, and west, and by the Hudson River and Saratoga County to the south.

While many of the developments on the piney outskirts of Glens Falls were permitted and roads constructed, they weren't all built out 25 years ago.
At one point, US 4 in Vermont was proposed to be an expressway across the state. Nowadays it dead ends at US 7 South of Rutland, across from what I'd now the Diamond Run Maul. This would have become part of the Modified Central Route of the proposed Interstate 92.
"MODIFIED" CENTRAL ROUTE: 281.6 miles from the area of Glens Falls, New York to Portland, Maine. This corridor would have required 97.1 miles of new construction and 70.2 miles of upgrading existing facilities (a 1968-1971 Interstate-quality upgrade of US 4 near Rutland, Vermont is included in this figure). Approximately 114.2 miles would have utilized already existing Interstate highways (I-89 in Vermont and New Hampshire, and I-393 in New Hampshire). The route, which was estimated to cost $346 million by the time it was completed in 1979, would have gone through Rutland and White River Junction, Vermont; Lebanon and Concord, New Hampshire; and Sanford and Portland, Maine. (An extension of the central route east to Calais, Maine was not considered for this study.)

North of Watkins Glen is a short section of dual-carriageway NY 14, which splits off to to a spur known as NY 14A, via a flyover ramp. Connections from NY 14A South to NY 14 North are made via a separate road. Salt wells from US Salt and Seneca Lake are the east of the interchange.
