New York highway question

[JB @ C and L Machine]

I know this is very short notice but My father and I are looking at a machine near Albany tommorrow and dont know the roads up there, we are coming from the Philadelphia area. It says to use the Taconic St Parkway. Seem like 87 might be a better bet. The town is east of Albany near the Mass line. We are leaving at 4 . . so I hope to get some replys

What town are you going to I might be able to help. I use to run from here to Philly and went down 87, to the garbage state parkway (sorry, couldn't resist) to the NJ turnpike and over to Philly or something like that. Anyways tell me where you're going and I'll try to help. I-87 gets you right to Albany, exit 23 or 24 both work.

As I recall, the Taconic Pkwy prohibits vehicals with commercial plates.

What do it do? How much do it weight?

 

[JB @ C and L Machine]

Its a VBM V=Vertical B=Boring M=Mill. Its used to turn round objects Like a engine or turret lathe but on a much bigger scale. It weights in the neighborhood of 75,000 to 90,000lbs.
