Hawley Road Reconstruction

The roadway reconstruction and re-decking of the viaduct that carries N. Hawley Rd. above the railroad right-of-way and W. State St. from W. Valley Forge Dr. to W. Vliet St. was completed during the summer of 2006, and traffic was re-opened to flow in both directions on June 30, 2006. During the 18-month project, the ramps serving the viaduct were also reconfigured to a better alignment. These "before and after" photos show a significant improvement to the vital north-south roadway for west side residents and commuters. "This project caused some headaches and inconveniences for residents and businesses, and I commend everyone for their patience," Ald. Murphy said.
