LOCAL KNOWLEDGE
What to Know Before Booking a Courier in Albany
Albany is a state capital in a region of three old river cities, each with its own downtown. These six points shape a delivery.
State Government
The Capitol, the Empire State Plaza, and dozens of agency buildings dominate downtown. Deliveries are screened and go to mailrooms or loading docks, and the streets are busiest from January to June, when the legislature is in session.
Three Cities, Not One
Albany, Schenectady, and Troy each have their own downtown, 8 to 18 miles apart, with Saratoga Springs farther north. The city name matters, since State Street and Broadway exist in more than one of them.
The Northway
I-87 north of Albany, called the Northway, carries commuters from Clifton Park and Saratoga County and is free. It backs up at the Mohawk River bridges at both rush hours.
The Thruway
The Thruway, south and west of the city, is tolled without booths. The stretch of I-90 through Albany itself is free, so most local deliveries never pay a toll.
Track Season
Horse racing in Saratoga Springs runs from mid-July to Labor Day and draws big crowds most days of the week. The Northway near the Saratoga exits and the streets around the track are slow on race afternoons.
Hills and Snow
Downtown Albany and Troy climb steeply from the Hudson, and winter brings regular snow and ice. Couriers allow extra time on the hills after a storm.
