No this is the changing of parts of NYS Route 17 as a future interstate (I-86)
:)   You may have traveled R17 to Sullivan county NY and seen things like
flashing stop-lights in the midst of the high speed highway.. (really (g)).
This is what wikipedia states about it:

"New York State Route 17 (NY 17) is a state highway that extends for 397 miles
(638.91 km) through the Southern Tier and Downstate regions of New York in the
United States. It begins at the Pennsylvania state line in Mina and follows the
Southern Tier Expressway and Quickway east through Corning and Binghamton to
Woodbury, where it turns south to follow the Orange Turnpike to the New Jersey
state line near Suffern, where it connects to that state's Route 17. From the
Pennsylvania border to the city of Elmira and from Binghamton to Windsor, NY 17
is concurrent with Interstate 86 (I-86). Eventually, the entire east-west
portion of NY 17 from the Pennsylvania border to Woodbury will become I-86 as
projects to upgrade the route to Interstate Highway standards are completed."

I think much of that construction is finished from what I can find.

Interesting one.. I hadn't heard of black garlic before (g). Live and learn...

Take care,
