that was one of the ones i had in mind. there's also a closed highway 
bridge over the
big rail yard in southern albany county that has the locals up in arms, 
and a closed
street in downtown albany that may be reopened if the renovation of the 
adjacent
courthouse is ever finished (i'm not holding my breath.)
