Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is urging Amtrak to make much-needed repairs to the Livingston Avenue Rail Bridge in Albany.
Schumer says funding for the project can come from the money Amtrak is getting as part of the $ 1-trillion infrastructure bill signed by President Biden. Schumer tells The Times Union he recently sent a letter to Amtrak's CEO asking the company to fix the bridge which is now over 100-years old. There's no word yet on just how much repairs to the bridge would cost.
