The city's Park Avenue railroad bridge, which carries vehicular traffic over the Amtrak Northeast Corridor tracks, is scheduled to close for about four months on May 15 for a nearly $12 million demolition and replacement project, the state Department of Transportation said in a statement. The current bridge, which dates to 1906 and carries 15,000 vehicles per day, has been determined to be structurally deficient.
