It's one of the busiest section of roadways in the Rochester area. Now a third lane of traffic will be added as part of upgrades to Jefferson Road in Henrietta.

More than one mile of the road will be upgraded, from the Marketplace Mall to under the Interstate 390 overpass. In addition to a third lane in both directions, there will be space for cyclists, sidewalks for pedestrians, and a median which will keep cars from crossing several lanes of traffic in order to make a left-hand turn.

Traffic will be shifted to one side of the road, while crews work on the other side. Work is scheduled to begin in the spring of2010, and be completed by November of 2011. The repairs will cost $15.6 million, awarded by the state.
