Remnants of the shore connections also remain in disrepair.	+ After traffic on the rail line ceased, remnants of the shore connections fell into disrepair. The bridge itself sat in a permanent open position and suffered from lack of care or preservation.

The bridge and its foundation were finally removed in late 2012. + + ===Efforts to Save the Hojack Bridge=== + There was an active movement to save and preserve the Hojack Bridge and turn what some considered an obstacle and eyesore into an attractive part of the Rochester scene.
