Preliminary layout work and saw cutting will begin before that. Work is expected to take about five months. Work will begin at Leroy Avenue and progress towards Herman Avenue.
The sidewalk will be constructed of concrete and will include handicap ramps at intersections. The location of the sidewalk will be the same as the existing sidewalk.
The area will remain open to traffic and Darien Police or other traffic personnel will be on site during construction.
Feel free to contact the Darien DPW at 203-656- 7346 or at the town government website.

Where there’s a sidewalk on West Avenue now, there will be a new sidewalk within about five months, Darien Department of Public Works says.
