had not been substantially reconstructed since 1915. In mid-August 2007, construction began on a two-year, $3.2 million project to resurface and reconstruct NY 153 from NY 96 north to West Commercial Street. The project was divided into two sections, with NY 31F (Fairport Road) acting as the divider. Work on the first section from NY 96 to NY 31F involved the resurfacing of the road and the elimination of the slip ramp between NY 96 north and NY 153 north through the reconfiguration of the NY 96 / NY 153 intersection. Both were completed by late 2007. The second section of NY 153 from NY 31F to Commercial Street was entirely rebuilt. As part of the project, new sidewalks, curbing, and drainage systems were constructed along the roadway. During the course of construction, only one direction of traffic was allowed on the road. NY 153 northbound was closed first; travelers heading north were instructed to follow NY 31F, Lincoln Road and Linden Avenue to traverse the village. Construction paused in November 2007 for the winter months, at which time the highway was reopened to two-way traffic. On March 31, 2008, NY 153 northbound was closed again and the detour was reinstated; however, the detour now utilized NY 31F, the service roads of I-490 between exits 24 and 25, and West Commercial Street instead. From May 26 to June 28, both directions of NY 153 between NY 31F and Commercial Street were closed to traffic to allow for a larger scale of construction. The project was completed in October 2008.
