The East Main Street Bridge is a critical link between downtown Rochester and surrounding neighborhoods, carrying significant daily traffic over one of the region’s busiest rail corridors. Aging infrastructure and deterioration in the deck, sidewalks, and structural elements required a strategic, cost-effective rehabilitation approach. Fisher Associates applied detailed inspection and non-destructive testing methods to inform targeted design solutions, including deck reconstruction, sidewalk and parapet replacement, and joint elimination to reduce long-term maintenance. Construction was staged to maintain traffic flow, resulting in a safer, more resilient structure that enhances connectivity and supports continued mobility.
