A new connection between Newtown Borough and Newtown Township is officially on the way! 🌉
The Newtown Township Board of Supervisors has unanimously approved a bid for construction of the Newtown Creek Pedestrian Bridge, connecting Frost Lane with North Sycamore Street.
💰 $1.13 million in state grants will fund the project
📏 Approximately 170 feet long
🚶♀️ Safer access for pedestrians and cyclists
🌳 New pathways, landscaping, lighting & creek overlooks
📅 Expected completion: 2027
The bridge will also pay tribute to Newtown’s history with a design inspired by late 19th-century wooden railroad bridges.
It’s more than a bridge — it’s a new connection between two communities and another link in the local trail system.
