Parkway Trees To Be Axed

The Parkway widening's next phase involves construction of a third lane in each direction between milepost 38 and 48.  Work is scheduled to begin by the third quarter of 2014, with completion of different parts of the project in 2016 and 2017.

3.9 acres of trees will be cut down for the construction of storm-water drains.  The trees will be removed from the parkway median near milepost 44 in Galloway Township.
