Site work and paving for a mixed-use development in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Conceptual plans call for site work for a road / highway; for paving for a road / highway; sidewalk / parking lot; and sidewalk / parking lot.

This project calls for the creation of a walkable and bike-able connection for neighborhoods and destinations along Route 1 through the construction of ten-foot sidepaths on each side of road in available NHDOT right-of-way. This will be a phased project to correspond with the NHDOT Route 1 Corridor Project. Most of the project falls within NHDOT jurisdiction and requires coordination and permission from the state agency to implement and maintain. A separate but related project would add ADA-Compliant crosswalks and actuated pedestrian signals to cross Lafayette Rd at key intersections. Progress on this project is dependent upon NHDOT. As of November 13, 2025, this project is included in the Portsmouth School Department Fiscal Year 2026-2031 CIP. Further information regarding a design firm and timeline for construction has not yet been established. Funding is allotted for FY 2027 and 2028. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
