This corner of Water Avenue in Albany is one of the places where a new pedestrian access to the Dave Clark Riverfront Park is being opened up.
At the risk of overdoing reports on the heavy work to redo the Water Avenue railroad crossings in Albany, here’s another one.
The new stage at Monteith Riverpark looks almost finished, and on Tuesday I took advantage of an open gate in the construction fence to walk in and take a closer look.
Construction work on the Water Avenue rail line does not stop on weekends, as I could not help but notice on my regular bike route Sunday afternoon.
The two river-viewing piers on Albany’s waterfront have been closed to the public for reconstruction since last spring, but now there’s a sign of some progress.
In news from the Albany riverfront, the old one-story garage and warehouse at the southeast corner of Water Avenue and Hill Street has been reduced to a pile of rubble.
Keeping track as crossings change
Having been away for a week, I took the bike back to the Albany Waterfront Project on Friday. As I had expected, my usual point of access to the Dave Clark Riverfront Path had been torn up.
