The crumbling century-old bridge that spans New Scotland Road in Slingerlands
is set to be replaced with a $1.9 million overpass one-third the width of the
original with 3 feet more clearance for the roadway underpass. Albany County
acquired the bridge in 2009, as part of its purchase of the nine-mile stretch of
railway that runs between the Port of Albany and Voorheesville — known today
as Albany County Helderberg-Hudson Rail Trail.
