Snow and Ice preps are ramping up in the Capital Region as the weather cools. Trucks are fitted with plows and training is ongoing as we obtain new technology and further our mission to reduce salt usage while keeping New York roads safe through another winter.

A signals crew installs a new video detection system at a traffic signal in Voorheesville to optimize traffic flow. Just one of myriad examples of how NYSDOT is working to make New York roads safer and keep traffic moving. #Transportation #SafetyFirst #HappyHalloween

In the Capital Region, "Winter is Coming" is more than a catchphrase or trendy t-shirt. It's time for us all to make sure we're ready for another upstate winter. #WinterWeatherAwarenessWeek

You hear footsteps… metal scraping on the pavement… 😱 Spooky? Nah! Just one of our crew dragging a shovel. (Don’t worry, watch the video, he picked it up 😅) The only real scare? Drivers who don’t slow down in work zones. 🎃 Slow down. Move over. Drive safely. #WorkZoneSafety

Our maintenance workers do much more than plow snow and fix roads. Scott Walker in our Voorheesville shop is building a "Beaver Blocker" from materials he found around the garage to discourage a stubborn little dam builder that thinks a culvert is a good place to build its lodge.
