I-87 Northbound from North New Jersey to Albany NY (Exit 15A - 23)

- The Thruway continues generally westward to Suffern, where I-87 and I-287 split at a large semi-directional T interchange (exit 15) only about a half mile from the New Jersey border. At this point, I-287 heads south into New Jersey while I-87 and the Thruway turn northward into the valley of the Ramapo River.
The Thruway continues north as a six lane tollway through the river valley toward Harriman, where it encounters the Woodbury toll barrier, the southeastern end of the mainline's major closed ticket system. The barrier is located on the mainline within exit 16 (NY 17), a trumpet interchange. Along with the mainline barrier in Harriman, an electronic toll gantry exists on the exit 16 ramp midway between the Thruway and NY 17 exit 131 (NY 32). Now a completely tolled highway, the Thruway heads northward as it narrows to four lanes, roughly paralleling the Hudson River to the river's west as it serves the city of Newburgh, the village of New Paltz, and the city of Kingston, indirectly connecting to the short I-587 in the latter.
Past Kingston, the highway runs closer to the river as it parallels U.S. Route 9W (US 9W) through the towns of Saugerties, Catskill, Coxsackie, and Ravena. Just north of Ravena, the Thruway meets the west end of the Berkshire Connector, a spur linking the Thruway mainline to the Massachusetts Turnpike 25 miles (40 km) to the east. The highway continues into the vicinity of Albany, where it connects to Troy via I-787 at exit 23 and intersects I-90 at exit 24.[5] The latter of the two junctions is the busiest of the Thruway's exits, serving an estimated 27 million vehicles a year. I-87 then widens to six lanes and runs across the capital city's residential suburbs for 6 miles (9.7 km) to exit 24, a complex interchange with I-90.

When lovely scenery is sanctified by the dearness of incredible memories of bygones long past, videos of this kind make all that comes out of Hollywood look like a seething, reeking cesspool, Scenery is indeed God's Other Book !!

Excellent video. I really appreciate people like you. I love the extras in the video, so awesome.

Except for music this is a great video on a beautiful day, beautiful season and the right time of day for the direction being traveled. Until 2019 I would travel the Mahwah to Saugerties section every year to visit my brother in the Catskills when on my annual one month visit from my regular home in Southeast Asia where I have been for 30 years. Our borders were closed in March 2020 so no visits since. They have just been provisionally reopened but given I have pets to worry about I will not dare go again until things have normalized continuously for a few years to be on the safe side. Thank you again I totally enjoyed this after muting the sound and listening to my own music.

Good video and and the music is fine as I driven this road with my music blasting!

I like the additional information on the screen on places we are passing. Too many driving videos give few clues of where you are. As it is, I drove this route over 100 times, and remember much of it well.

Damn this is one strange stretch of 87. Exits every couple of miles?
