Sylvanwood, Trinway and Creston are expected to stay closed where they meet Rochester Road in Troy, one week into a closure the city said would last about three weeks.
The closures began Monday, Oct. 12, so the contractor can finish paving the main road before the construction season ends, according to the City of Troy. Three weeks from the start would put reopening around the beginning of November. The city has not posted an exact date.
Residents can still reach the three streets through neighborhood roads. Only the connections at Rochester Road are closed, and the city is asking drivers to use other routes. Our Oct. 9 story has background on the closures and the cut-through traffic that prompted them.
The work is part of the project widening Rochester Road between Barclay and Trinway. It is paid for with a $22 million federal and MDOT grant and about $5.6 million from the city, according to Troy. The city's construction page says the Rochester Road project continues through spring 2027.
