Ford Street bridge, Rochester, New York, September 2019 A view of the Ford Street Bridge in Rochester, New York, as seen in September 2019 from just to the north of its western end, along the Genesee Riverway Trail at the south end of the historic Corn Hill neighborhood. There has been a bridge across the Genesee River at this location since 1848, an era when Corn Hill was newly emerging to prominence as a desirable abode for the city's wealthy industrialist class. The present span, a 124-foot structure of concrete flanked with an arched pony truss of steel girders, was completed in 1920 during a major expansion of the Erie Canal, which ran concurrently with the river at that time. The main decorative elements are the concrete pylons that flank the roadway at each end: comprising quartets of stylized, engaged Doric columns each together supporting a square corniced cap, they lend a timely Neoclassical air to an otherwise utilitarian design. The original pylons were removed in the 1950s; the current ones are exact replicas that were installed during the bridge's reconstruction in 2001, when $8.8 million in federal, state and municipal funds were used to replace the deteriorated steel deck with concrete and widen the roadway from two to four lanes. Other improvements to the bridge added at that time were the period-appropriate streetlamps and pedestrian walkway seen at left: the better for photographers to capture what's one of the most popular viewpoints of the downtown skyline.
