Voted among the safest and healthiest cities in the nation, West Lafayette is home to beautiful parks, miles of scenic walking and bike trails, drivable destinations, and neighbors committed to making our community the best it can be.
Building and maintaining a city like this comes with growing pains, though. Construction to improve our roads and expand our trail system may temporarily lengthen commutes and create frustrating detours. We appreciate your patience during this time and your commitment to making our community a better place for generations to come.
The Salisbury Street/Grant Street Redevelopment Project aims to connect our trail systems from north to south, improving access and safety for multimodal travelers. The project’s second phase, which includes Grant Street reconstruction, will begin in March 2023.
Yeager Road between Sagamore Parkway and Cumberland Avenue is being reconstructed to include stormwater improvements, a new trail, and new sidewalks. Currently, northbound and southbound lanes are open and will remain open during the winter months. Construction will resume in March 2023 and is expected to wrap up by Summer 2023.
Cherry Lane will be realigned to accommodate Purdue University’s new Pete Dye Clubhouse. With this project, the area will also be enhanced with a new roundabout, multi-use trail, more lighting, and new stormwater infrastructure. Lane restrictions will begin in Spring 2023 between Northwestern Avenue and McCormick Road with the project expected to wrap up by September 2023.
Lindberg Road between Northwestern Avenue and Salisbury Street is being reconstructed to include stormwater improvements, a new multi-use trail, and new sidewalks. Construction is slated to begin spring 2023 and will be completed December 2023.
River Road and its neighboring Parks and Recreation trail will be closed between Dehart Street and Happy Hollow Road as the City of West Lafayette improves our stormwater and wastewater collection system to prevent future pollution of the Wabash River. Construction will conclude in Fall 2023.
The Sagamore Parkway Trail project is a new, 10-foot asphalt trail construction from Happy Hollow Road to the Wabash River Bridge. The Sagamore Parkway Trail will provide a connection from the Nighthawk Trail to the Wabash Heritage Trail, as well as connecting to an existing path across the Wabash River Bridge to the City of Lafayette. The path to the bridge includes a meandering, scenic ride through woods to your destination. Construction is well underway and expected to be completed in 2023.
