Troy closing 15th Street for repairs

Troy's Department of Public Utilities (DPU) will be closing 15th Street between Hoosick and Hutton streets on Friday to repair leaking water infrastructure.

Plans call for blocking off that area from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., or longer if required.

The work could affect customers of various businesses in that stretch, ranging from the McDonald's at 15th and Hoosick to Amante Pizza, the Asian restaurant Red & Blue, and the Mediterranean restaurant Ali Baba, all fronting on 15th Street.

DPU says no interruption of water service is expected. Motorists and commuters should plan alternate routes of travel and be alert to any posted parking restrictions.
