Crews will rebuild 350 feet of Route 162 (Strasburg Road) as part of the township’s project to install streetscape amenities between Northbrook Road and Lucky Hill Road. The improvement plan consists of adding sidewalks on both sides of Route 162 (Strasburg Road); installing traffic-calming medians and curb extensions; providing pedestrian crosswalks and on-street parking; and resurfacing the roadway.

Once the road reconstruction work is completed in August, the contractor will perform the remaining work under traffic utilizing daytime lane closures. Construction is scheduled to finish in November."
