The speed limit starts out at 55 mph on Interstate 787 South in Troy. There is some debate on exactly where I-787 begins and ends. I'm in the camp that I-787 starts here at NY 7 in Troy, just east of the Hudson River, due to reliable sources which state so.. Therefore, this guide is based around the thought that I-787 begins here, as pictured. (Photo taken 8/22/16). |
