New York State Department of Transportation Commissioner Marie Therese Dominguez announced the completion of a $3.4 million bridge replacement project along State Route 250 (North Main Street) in the village of Fairport, Monroe County. State Route 250 is the main corridor through this historic canal village, which is a popular destination for recreational boaters and visitors to its many specialty shops, events and festivals.
“With dozens of thriving Main Street businesses plus active residents who love the charm and ease of their village lifestyle, Fairport is a jewel of the Finger Lakes region,” said Commissioner Marie Therese Dominguez. “This bridge replacement project along State Route 250 in the heart of this picturesque village has paved the way for a safer and more vibrant community and provided protection for the Thomas Creek watershed and wetlands. I am thrilled that this project will continue to foster connections for residents and visitors alike.”
The project replaced the existing structure, which was built in 1934 and carries State Route 250 over Thomas Creek and through the center of Fairport Village, with 23 four-sided, pre-stressed concrete slabs and a new concrete deck. New steel railing was installed on the west side of the bridge and a water main that had run under the structure was replaced with a new 10 in. waterline and relocated along the west edge. As part of the project, new Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant sidewalks and curb ramps were also installed on both sides of the roadway, with the new sidewalks measuring 8 ft. 10 in. and 10 ft. 6 in. wide.
The project took place simultaneously with the Village’s transformative Main Street Streetscape Project, which included new sidewalks, signage, lighting and trees.
Throughout construction, a pedestrian walkway remained open to connect both ends of the roadway and provide access to the village’s many businesses.
Thomas Creek flows west through the village and passes under a 104-year-old building on the east side of North Main Street.
