I90 East to I87 NY.

[ccmret]

I will be heading up interstate 87 north of Albany, NY coming from East Bound I90. Has anyone did this route? Did you cut over through the small towns or go over to Albany and go up 87? If so, what are you pulling? I am pulling a 40' 5th Wheel.

You can do either, the route all the way to Albany being longer.

If you want to short cut, get off I90 at the Fonda exit and follow rt 30A to rt 29.East on 29 to Saratoga Springs. As you enter Saratoga, turn left on West Ave ( D'Andreas liquor store on the left) and go to the T intersection. Turn right and go past the hospital. At the next light, bear left (Van Dam St) continue straight onto the arterial ( rt 50) After you pass a lake on your left, you want the left lane for the entrance to 87 north about 3/4 mile ahead..

It sounds complicated but is an easy route to follow and avoids a nasty turn from a narrow street through the business district. It does save quite a bit of time and a lot of miles.
