Press release
The Genesee County Department of Public Works has announced that Rose Road in the Town of Batavia
will be closed beginning Monday, August 25, 2025, for the Rose Road Bridge Replacement Project.
The project is expected to take approximately three months, with completion scheduled by the end of
November 2025. Work includes removing the existing bridge and installing a new precast three-sided
concrete frame structure supported on cast-in-place footings.
During construction, Rose Road will be closed to traffic. A posted detour will direct motorists as follows:
- Eastbound traffic will be detoured north on Upton Road, then east on Pearl Street Road (Route
33), and south on Wortendyke Road back to Rose Road. - Westbound traffic will follow the same route in reverse: north on Wortendyke Road, west on
Pearl Street Road, and south on Upton Road back to Rose Road.
The Department of Public Works appreciates the community’s patience and cooperation as this
important project is completed.
