ROCHESTER — An informational session will offer updates about Rochester’s planned Sixth Street bridge over the Zumbro River..
The $35.8 million project, using a $19.9 million federal grant, $10 million in state Destination Medical Center funds and $5.9 million from the Minnesota Department of Transportation, seeks to create more connections and improve access to the river while maintaining the current flood control system.
The information session is set for 6:45 p.m. to 8 p.m. May 28 at the Riverside Elementary School cafeteria, 506 Fifth Ave. SE. It will include a formal presentation and time for questions.
The presentation is expected to be recorded and made available on the project website, https://tinyurl.com/4u7swm3b, for anyone unable to attend.
In addition to the bridge and riverfront access, additional roadway improvements will be constructed, including:
• Streetscape enhancements along Sixth Street Southwest between Second Avenue Southwest and South Broadway Avenue.
• Traffic calming features for a new Sixth Street between the new bridge and Third Avenue Southeast.
• Traffic calming mitigation for the existing Sixth Street, from Third Avenue Southeast to Ninth Avenue Southeast.
Construction is slated to start in 2026.
