Well, not to outdo its already shabby coverage of the local media scene, the D&C managed to tell its readers that important traffic information about the upcoming season of highway construction can be found on 610 AM. Duh... turn that 6 upside right and you get a 9... 910 AM to be exact.
Meanwhile, a second transmitter has been inaugurated for the east side on 1610 for DoT messages because the one in Webster was insufficient (and is now subject to lots of interference from the Thruway's own new network of TIS stations for greater Rochester on the same 1610 frequency.) The Thruway Authority is now running three transmitters at the exits to greater Rochester. It makes for a real mess on 1610 unless you are close to a transmitter.
Here is the roundup of stations carrying traffic info here.
