At the Falls Township Board of Supervisors meeting last week, it was announced the township plans to reconstruct 50 township-owned and -maintained roads in the Thornridge and Vermillion Hills neighborhoods as part of the 2024 through 2029 road improvement program.
Township officials said they expect the multi-year project to cost $28.1 million, or about $4.7 million for each of the years.
Jones Engineering, the firm the township uses as their engineer, will provide services for planning the road reconstructions for a projected cost of $3.9 million. In a statement, the township said the work will include surveying and base mapping, pavement core sampling, underground utility verification, engineering design, and bid administration.

For 2022, the township is planning a full-depth reconstruction of Pinewood Drive in Levittown. There will also be milling and overlay work.
Township Engineer Joseph Jones said the budget estimate for the project was $5 million, but the actual cost is expected to be less.

An advertisement for bids will be going out soon and a contractor will be picked in late spring.
Jones said construction is planned to start in mid to late July.
As a continuation of the 2021 road improvement project, work is currently underway to redo Elderberry Road. Curb and drainage improvement work is taking place.
