Construction on Rochester Road in Troy is causing significant traffic and business disruptions due to two simultaneous projects. The larger project, funded by federal and state grants, involves road widening and concrete boulevard construction between Sylvanwood and Barclay, with completion expected by 2027.

Some customers have pledged to support businesses despite the disruption.
