The state has released a new draft study examining the future of Route 787.
The state is looking to reconstruct the highway; improve quality of life for those who live nearby; and enhance access to the Hudson River. Based on previous studies and public input, this latest report outlines five different options.
The construction duration for each proposal ranges from 5-9 years with a price tag between $2.8 billion and $6 billion.
