Project Summary

• The reconstruction of Broadway Avenue (from Civic Center Drive to 13th Street North) will begin the transformation of the Broadway Avenue corridor into a significant multi-modal gateway to downtown Rochester and the Destination Medical Center (DMC) Development District.  The project will address aging pavement, safety, and mobility for all users.
• Planning for the project began in 2017 and resulted in a City Council approved project layout, which can be viewed here.  For more information on past planning for the project, see the “Get Involved” page.
• Project bids were received in late February 2021 and the City Council awarded a contract to Elcor Construction at the March 15, 2021 meeting.  Construction is currently underway.  See the “Construction” and “Latest News” pages for more information.
