More information has been made available about the Salt shoot happening in Albany this week. According to the Daily Gazette, sections of Interstate-787, Route 20 and downtown Albany will be closed for two weeks starting Thursday as Columbia Pictures films scenes the movie, starring Angelina Jolie. There is no official word from the city or the production regarding who exactly will be in Albany filming but it is safe to bet Jolie will show up at some point since the filming is taking place over so many days.

Street closures will begin at 6 a.m. or 9 a.m. and will last until 4 p.m. or 8 p.m., depending on the location. It was also announced they are planning on doing as much filming as possible on the weekend to minimize impact on weekday taffic.

Here is a break down of what streets will be closed on what days. Let us know if you are planning on visiting the set, we know we’ll be there this weekend!
