Contract to demolish Rensselaer train station awarded
Jackson Demolition Services Inc. of Schenectady, New York, has been awarded the contract to demolish two old buildings at Albany/Rensselaer train station in Rensselaer. The company will start the work in early November and take about 10 weeks to raze the structures.
The buildings, one a former administrative office building and the other a former rail station, were built in 1968 and 1980, respectively.
The demolition, for which Jackson Demolition will be paid $187,500, is the first component of a longer-range plan that includes adding a fourth track to ease bottlenecks and extending the rail station’s existing platform.
