Baird Road reopened after problems with a bridge in Perinton

Monroe County officials say that  Baird Road in the Town of Perinton between Fairport Road (RT-31F) and Whitney Road is now open following repairs made by CSX to repair the partial failure of a bridge abutment timber retaining wall under the CSX rail crossing over Baird Road.

Officals say this retaining wall prevents stone on the railroad bed from falling on the roadway below.

This bridge, owned by CSX, was repaired ahead of the previously estimated repair window.

A temporary retaining wall was installed and, in the next few weeks, it will be replaced with a permanent retaining wall.
