Clarksville Road Crosswalk Construction to Begin August 3

On or about Monday, August 3, 2009, Mercer County will begin a project to install a crosswalk between Avalon Watch and the Village Square Shopping Center on Clarksville Road.

This project includes installation of an in-pavement lighting system and flashing signs, all solar powered.  Construction of a median island as a pedestrian refuge is also proposed with a stamped concrete pattern.  Left-turn lanes into Avalon Watch and the Village Square Shopping Center will also be constructed.  The contractor is Orchard Holdings, LLC.  The project is being funded through an NJDOT grant and by Mercer County.

Clarksville Road will remain open to traffic in both directions.  If closures are required, it will be in one direction with alternating flow for a very short duration and during non-peak hours.  The project is anticipated to be complete by the end of August.
