Motorists ‘should expect delays’ as 6-month Smith Road sidewalk work starts April 12

Smith Road sidewalk improvement project is tentatively scheduled to begin Monday, April 12.

 The project includes construction of a 5-foot concrete sidewalk and roadway improvements along the northern side of Smith Road from Everett Road to Andover Boulevard.

Roadway improvements include more curb, gutter, stormwater drainage and asphalt resurfacing. The project is expected to take six months. Residents should expect delays and obey all signs and flaggers.

 The new section of sidewalk will link the end of the Grigsby Chapel greenway and Hickory Woods subdivision with the greenway along Everett Road. The newly-linked greenway/sidewalk will include a marked streetway through Hickory Woods subdivision.
