This project upgrades the existing multi-modal (pedestrian and bicycle) sidepath along Fordham Boulevard between Cleland Drive and Ridgefield Road by the Rainbow Soccer fields from asphalt to concrete and will construct a new concrete sidepath between Ridgefield Road and Willow Drive.
The project also includes additional traffic-calming systems, landscaping, and a noise reducing fence system along the path between Ridgefield Rd. and Willow Dr.
It’s a federally funded project with an original allocation in 2016 and subsequent funding in 2024. The construction bids received in 2023 were higher than the funding allowed. The Town sought additional funding, then Tropical Storm Chantal required revisions to the project design to address site damage and mitigate similar damage in the future.

Lanier Construction, the firm hired by the Town to construct the Fordham Sidepath, will begin staking the perimeter of the project limits as early as this Friday, September 18th. Lanier anticipates breaking ground on the project as soon as September 28th and construction will continue for about a year. No traffic impacts are expected on Fordham Boulevard, and occasional temporary lane closures on the intersecting side streets will be advertised ahead of time. The existing asphalt sidepath between Cleland Drive and Ridgefield Road is not expected to be passable during construction.
Please check this page for updates as construction progresses.
