Crews have been hard at work this week on sidewalk installation along a portion of New Falls Road in Falls Township.

The nearly $300,000 project began earlier this week and crews were spotted working between Vermillion Drive and Hood Boulevard along New Falls Road.

The project includes installation of ADA compliant curb ramps and pedestrian crossings at Vermillion Drive and Amelia Drive. The sidewalk will stretch from  Vermillion Drive and Hood Boulevard.

“I see people walking every day, just about,” Board Of Supervisors Chairman Bob Harvie said earlier this year. “Kids walking to school. People riding bikes. We’re trying to make it safe.”

PennDOT plans to work next year to add sidewalks to New Falls Road in Bristol Township and Middletown.
