Built in 1865, the bridge connects Rensselaer and Albany by rail and provides a path for passenger rail service from New York City to Western New York. Deterioration of the current structure, leased to Amtrak, limits trains crossing to one at a time at speeds of 15 mph. The new bridge will accommodate improved passenger service. The current movable swing bridge would be replaced with a new lift-type bridge that would bring the structure up to modern standards for height, width, and speeds for passenger and freight trains and more reliably accommodate marine traffic using the Hudson River. The new bridge will be south of the existing bridge on a parallel alignment and would carry two railroad tracks. Approach track work will include improvements to the triangular junction of rail tracks on the Rensselaer side to facilitate train turning movements and the rehabilitation and reconfiguration of the rail bridges over Water and Centre streets on the Albany side. The new bridge also will include a separated shared use path connecting to the Albany Skyway and Empire State Trail to the city of Rensselaer. Construction is estimated at $400 million and is slated to begin by the end of 2023. Completion of the new bridge is expected by the end of 2026. ________________________________________ Livingston Avenue Bridge over the Hudson River Subsurface Exploration for Soil, Rock and Environmental Samples The New York State Department of Transportation, acting through its agent Modjeski and Masters, Inc., is seeking to retain a qualified Contractor to provide geotechnical and environmental soil boring and sampling services within the location described above in the City of Albany and the City of Rensselaer, New York.
