NEW SCOTLAND — A portion of the Albany County Helderberg-Hudson Rail Trail will be closed in the town of New Scotland from Tuesday, Oct. 10, to Friday, Oct. 13, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day.

So that the Albany County Department of Public Works can safely remove and eventually replace the old decking on the Bender Melon Farm Preserve Bridge, the rail trail will be temporarily closed between the intersections of Hilton Road and Upper Font Grove Road.
