Newtown Supervisors Award $800K Paving Contract: Is Your Street On The List?

NEWTOWN TOWNSHIP, PA — Thirteen township streets are targeted for paving and repairs this spring and summer under a contract awarded on Wednesday by the Newtown Township Board of Supervisors.

Under the township's 2026 road improvement program, Harris Blacktop - the low bidder on the project - will be paid $827,086 for paving and maintenance work on 13 streets in the township, including Sycamore Street, Wrights Road, and Linton Hill Road.

“Soon we will have the contracts executed, a pre-construction meeting, and eventually you will see construction in the next month or so,” reported township engineer Leanna Colubriale.

According to the bid documents, the street improvement project will include replacement of inlet tops, frames, and grates; pavement base repairs; asphalt mill and overlay construction; and replacement of existing pavement markings

In addition, the work will include replacement of concrete curb and sidewalk, including depressed concrete driveway aprons, as well as replacement of existing curb ramps with ADA-compliant curb ramps, new detectable warning surfaces, and concrete cheek walls.

Roadways targeted for improvements are: Eagleton Farm Road, Union Street, Jonquil Drive, Everett Drive, Columbine Circle with Goldenrod Court, Hidden Valley Lane, North and South Sycamore Street, Wrights Road, Linton Hill Road, Westwood Court, Oak Street, Brentwood Court, and Briarwood Court.

No further timetable was provided Wednesday beyond the expected next steps described by Colubriale. According to the engineer, the project now moves to contract execution and a pre-construction meeting before residents begin seeing work in the field in the next month or so.
