New sidewalks will soon line a portion of Route 1 in Dumfries.
Construction of the new walkway is happening now on the southbound portion of the four-lane road. Drivers can’t miss the orange barrels noting the work.
Here’s more about the sidewalks form Dumfries Town Manager Dan Taber:
Those sidewalks are part of the multi-modal project Phase 2 that had been approved a few years ago.
The project when completed will connect the existing short segment of sidewalk along Route 1 from Route 234 to the existing sidewalk that picks up along Route 1 across from Cathy and Harold’s Restaurant.
The sidewalk is 1,700 feet long and includes a curb, gutter, storm drain, and a retaining wall, according to a request for proposals document issued in June.
The town’s multimodal plan is listed as the top transportation priority in Dumfries, according to the town government’s capital improvement program 2010-2014. The new sidewalks will make it easier for pedestrians to walk to bus stops, shopping centers, housing, and other facilities in the town, according to the plan.
A total of $60,000 per year, from 2010 to 2014, was budgeted for multimodal improvements, according to town documents.
