Or not. There's no "Livingston Avenue Bridge" song. The bridge carries no cars. Just trains. It connects the north end of Albany (The Warehouse District) with the Amtrak station across the river.* Trains run daily from that station south to NYC (Penn Station), north to Montréal, east to Boston, and west to Chicago (the Lake Shore Limited). The bridge is in bad shape and, from what I've read, is going to be replaced in the near future. The new bridge will accommodate cyclists and pedestrians, connecting to riverfront parks on the Albany side, but no cars.
* A subject for another day. Albany's beautiful Union Station was abandoned in 1968 for a new station across the river (plenty of parking!), but was thankfully not demolished. It still stands and has been repurposed as an office building.
I'm glad they didn't tear down the old train station. They hold many memories. I'm glad I got to visit Albany once upon a time.
