When Will Downtown Rochester Construction End?

KIMT News 3's Isabella Basco is getting answers

Killed him./// the winding maze of road construction in downtown rochester is making it hard for drivers to get where they need to go.

Kimt news three's isabella basco joins us live now to tell us when some of these headaches could end.

Xxx george... downtown rochester is a place filled with commuters and motorists... all trying to get to and from their place of work.

Easier said than done with all this construction.

So when will it finally be over?

Today i got answers.

Xxx <nats of cars > downtown rochester.

<nats of lime scooters > it's a place bustling with people.

<nats > there have been a lot of closures and project updates in the heart of the city this summer.

City council member mark bilderback concedes there has been a lot more work than usual.

"we're bringing in new businesses, new types of things happening, the apartments, the condos, the living facilities, bigger buildings."

Rochester ?

"* he says ?

"* needs to update its infrastructur e.

"the water, the sewer, plus the fact that the water and the sewer lines were old."

Bilderback tells me he's received multiple complaints from across the city on construction around town... so i ventured out to hear the experience of motorists.

"troublesome especially when you are driving to work and to downtown area, trying to park in different areas, not knowing when the construction is and when it's changing."

"the last two years it has been really bad around here all of the streets as soon as one's done, something else is starting."

Bilderback says construction season wraps up by october ?

"* but there will e more to come.

"unfortunately , the city has to grow.

Unfortunately when things had to escalate this year with covid center street and 1st avenue will be closed for a month.

Also sewer line work will keep happening at 1st avenue northwest at 3rd street ?

"* tht will be closed for about another month.
