Buckling bridge halts Albany County Rail Trail work temporarily

SLINGERLANDS — Construction to replace the rail trail bridge over New Scotland Road was stopped Wednesday after the structure buckled, according to Albany County officials.

The $3.28 million county project, which began in March, is meant to raise the low-lying bridge, which is frequently hit by trucks. County spokeswoman Mary Rozak said the bridge buckled during Wenesday morning as concrete decking was being poured. An investigation is under way to determine what happened, she said.
