Visitors to Letchworth State Park are usually familiar with the old railroad bridge over the Genesee River.
Governor Andrew Cuomo announced Tuesday that construction on a new arch bridge just south of the one built in 1875 should begin next year, and take about three years.
Norfolk Southern Railroad says a new bridge will reduce one of the top ten bottlenecks in the state rail system.
State and federal funding adds up to about 18 million of the 71-million dollar cost - the rest to be paid by the railroad.
The old bridge will be torn down.
