1-Foot Deep Sunken Manhole Cover!! Open

100-118 State Highway 32 Menands, NY 12204, USA - Menands

There is a sunken manhole cover right near here which is SO DEEP that when I hit it the other day, I almost thought that the front wheel of my car was going to be ripped off by it!

This is absolutely unacceptable! It needs to be repaired immediately!

Potholes on 378! Archived

New York 378 Menands, NY 12204, USA - Menands

The potholes going up the hill on 378 W are terrible! There is one in-particular half-way up the hill that is like a crater!

  i live directly on RT 378 by the cemetery. The end of our driveway has a drain beneath it for run off. DOT had to come and repair it. I know for a fact that the road is maintained by DOT, not the Village of Menands, or Town of Colonie. I have called them several times and it is not a priority. I have chronic alignment issues with my new car due to the jarring. The noise when trucks fly over the bumps is horrendous, in addition to being hazardous. I have seen cars laterally skip in the air after hitting some of the seams.

  Yes, you're right. Route 378 is a NY State route. You can always tell which road is by the shape of the white shield on the number-route sign:
  
  Rounded top-part: State Route (like 378)
  3 Points on top: U.S. Route (like Route 9)
  
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_State_Route_378
  
  I don't understand why this road is constantly ignored! It is truly one of the worst roads in the Capital District! And is has been terrible for years now! Isn't anybody out there from the DOT driving on these crumbling highways so they can see just how bad things are? Route 378 needs a complete upgrade! Not just more patches!!! I'm sick of these bone-crushing streets!!!

HORRIFFIC PATCHWORK MESS!!!! Archived

91-97 Menand Rd Menands, NY 12204, USA - Menands

I don't know what the people at the Highway Department are thinking, but the 4-lane part of Route 378 has been patched so many times, that the patches' patches' patches have patches on them!

This road is an absolute shambles! It is literally crumbling under our tires!!

This shouldn't even be considered a road, because it's NOT a road-- it's a LOGGING TRAIL!!

I visited the U.S.S.R. during the time of Communism and the roads were in better condition than this one!!!

As far as I'm concerned, this 4-lane stretch of Route 378 is the absolute WORST ROAD in the Capital District, HANDS DOWN!!

  I've reported the problem with Rt378 to DOT. They say it is not a prority for funding and is not on the list for potential funding. I have made it clear that this 55mph road is a danger to car and motorcycle drivers. It has speed bumps and on-going pot holes that cause flat tires. This may be one of those unfortunate issues that will not get attention until someone gets killed. Very Sad!!

  I think someone should make another posting on this subject, and add in some pictures of the myriad of potholes and cracks on this road. It is disgusting that this heavily-traveled road gets so little attention, at the expense of all the vehicle owners whose cars are getting damaged by this neglected shambles of a highway.
  
  This is hands down one of the worst roads in the Capital District!!
  
  Perhaps also, people should send numerous letters to the editor of the Times Union, because this situation is absolutely UNACCEPTABLE!!
  
  The streets and highways of the entire Menands/Watervliet/Cohoes corridor are in terrible disrepair, and perhaps if enough people get angry enough, something MIGHT be done about it.
  
  I just think it's unfortunate that the taxpayers of this community are forced to deal with this neglegent incompetence from our highway departments!
  
  God forbid a section of the highway buckles in on itself, or one of the rotten, rusty, crumbling bridges collapses and people get killed. You'd think that the State would rather fix the problem first, rather than worrying about multi-million dollar lawsuits later!!! But that would be too logical.

Rough Road Archived

106-122 Menand Rd Menands, NY 12204, USA - Menands

There are pot holes and rough road throughout Rt 378. It makes it both hazardous and noisy when trucks run over the rough pavement.

It appears as though there is an intention to fix it as the flaws are marked with notes. These have been marked now for a month but no action

  The condition of the road is truly outrageous. It is quite dangerous as cars swerve to avoid massive potholes, and find themselves looking down at the road, instead of in front of them. Someone needs to do something!

  DOT came through this summer and marked certain hazards on 378 with the words cut and grind. They did some work but I can't tell what they thought that they were accomplishing. I am still waiting for the ultimate repairs. The worse joke is that some public official in Menands sent around flyers to residents boasting about his success at getting DOT to fix 378. It still isn't done. I continue to dodge dangerous bumps in my Jeep Wrangler no less. Motorcycles continue to swerve around the hazards. Whatever they thought they were doing is absurd. Frankly I thought they were trying to even out the road to get it ready for pavement. I think that they are really finished?

Rough road Archived

New York 378 Menands, NY 12204, USA - Menands

Road paving/patching is raised above road surface, effectively creating speed bumps on westbound 378 between 32 and 377. It'll knock your car out of alignment.

Car Damaging Bumps! Archived

New York 378 Menands, NY 12204, USA - Menands

Upon getting onto 378West , from 787 north Watervliet exit, 378 has horrible speed bump-like fill-ins that extend across the whole road, that not only disrupt your vehicle from driving safely but also can damage your car, affect front end allignment and more. There are 2 really bad spots right away and then a milder series of many bumps all the way up the 378 hill. On the other side of 378East going down the hill to get onto 787 you are lucky enough to hit a few more!

  Going to the media is good idea. Also, this is a state route so repeated phone calls to NYS DOT is also not a bad idea. I called once and that is where I received the info on CDTC. Again 378 has been like this for 2 at least a decade, so WHY is it rejected ??

  We drove on 378 yesterday & noticed construction workers paving left side of the road going up the hill toward Van Rensselaer Blvd. Hopefully they plan to pave the other side as well. It has long been needed. My daughter has had to pay repair bills twice to have the tirods replaced and wheels aligned.

Left-Turn Lane Markings Needed Open

Menand Rd Albany, NY - Menands

Route 378 was just recently paved and repaired after years of neglect, which was an extremely welcomed project for this community.

However, the intersection of Route 378 westbound with 377 should have included a dedicated left-turn lane so that drivers turning left onto 377 won't hold up other motorists intending to continue on straight to Loudonville.

This improvement should have been implemented, and should be included in future improvements to this intersection.

right lane ending, merge Open

145-187 New York 32 Menands, NY 12204, USA - Menands

The sign notifying drivers that the right lane ends is behind trees and cannot be seen. The sign indicating lane merge is where the merge begins. Need a more visible indication that the right lane is ending so drivers have time to get in the proper lane. Now drivers in the right lane who don't know the lane ends try to pass/move over at the last minute creating dangerous condition. Need sign at the light and arrow indicators on pavement telling drivers that right lane ends/merges.

  After bringing this to the Village of Menands' attention about a year ago, nothing has changed. Drivers in the driving (left) lane better be alert for drivers in the merge (right ending) lane who use it as a passing lane and speed up along the right side to get ahead. When traveling this road I'm coming from Albany and driving in the left (driving) lane. I've had several close calls here. My understanding of driving in a merged lane is that the driver entering the driving lane from a merging lane is supposed to do so when it's safe, not speed ahead and cut off the drivers in the driving lane. I don't know why the police never seem to issue tickets for this sort of dangerous driving.
