Overview
Route 7 is one of the most traveled routes in the Capital District.
Connecting Schenectady to Troy and parts in between.
West of Schenectady, Route 7 is mostly a two lane road,
which soon doubles when Route 7 is shared with Interstate 890, and then onto its own four lane highway.
In Albany County, Route 7 continues as a four lane roadway with a center turn lane.
Once in Latham, Route 7 joins Interstate 87, the Northway,
briefly before traversing onto its own four lane freeway, locally known as "Alternate Route Seven".
The Route 7 Freeway provides a vital connection for the Northway for Troy.
Once in Troy, Route 7 then returns to a four lane roadway through the heart of one of the area's most heavy arteries.
After its journey through Troy, Route 7 then returns to its two lane road for a trip to the Green Mountain State of Vermont.
