Public hearings will be held this week to gather input on plans to replace Albany's Livingston Avenue Bridge. The bridge has carried trains across the Hudson for more than a century.

The bridge replacement project, a longtime goal of transportation advocates, is included the state Department of Transportation’s $32 billion capital plan.

Public hearings are set for Tuesday, May 31st over Zoom and on June 1st at the Palace Theater in Albany. Both meetings are set to begin at 6 p.m.

In April officials cut the ribbon on the Albany Skyway, an underused off-ramp-turned-pedestrian walkway located next to the Livingston Avenue bridge.
