The city of Rochester will begin road reconstruction work in the Bull's Head neighborhood on Monday, and that will mean some closures.
Kensington Street will be closed between Silver and Brown streets, and Silver Street between York and Taylor streets will be shut down.
Crews will realign the streets into a new configuration that the city says will better serve traffic flow and pedestrians while supporting future development in Bull's Head.
The city expects construction to be completed by the summer.
The redevelopment of Bull's Head, a former commercial district where West Main Street splits into Chili and West avenues, has been decades in the making. The road work is just one aspect of the plans for the neighborhood. The city has already done cleanup work on some contaminated sites and demolished dilapidated buildings.
Late last year, ESL opened a branch in Bull's Head. Other planned additions include a workforce development center and single-family homes that would be for sale.
