Aqueduct Reimagined and Riverfront Promenades
The Aqueduct Gallery Concept
(Rehabilitation and Conversion Alternative)
As the centerpiece of the “ROC the Riverway” initiative, the Aqueduct Reimagined and Riverfront Promenades project will establish pedestrian and bicycle waterfront connections along both sides of the Genesee River and transform the historic Erie Canal Aqueduct and Broad Street Bridge into a vibrant and active destination that uniquely celebrates the rich history and culture of Rochester, New York.
The City of Rochester has implemented a robust community engagement process for the Aqueduct Reimagined and Riverfront Promenades project and developed an updated design concept and vision that reflects the significant public and stakeholder input received to date and celebrates the history of the site.
We would like to thank Governor Kathy Hochul, New York State Department of Transportation, and Empire State Development for their continued support of the ROC the Riverway initiative and the transformation of our downtown waterfront.
Visuals shown are for illustrative purposes only, and do not reflect design decisions about streetscape, materiality, art retention, or other advanced design features which are still in development. Community and stakeholder feedback will inform design development in the coming phases.
Upcoming Events
The ROC the Riverway / Building Bridges to the Future initiative combines over two dozen transformational projects along the Genesee River into a unified strategy to allow the City of Rochester to better leverage the value of it’s riverfront. The centerpiece of the initiative is the Aqueduct Reimagined and Riverfront Promenades project, which will create a vibrant central gathering place and establish riverfront trail connectivity on the downtown waterfront.
