TRAFFIC DETOURS
Delaware Avenue
June-October 2017
The Delaware Avenue Hamlet Streetscape Enhancement construction project will begin the week of June 5.
The $3.1 million project makes enhancements to Delaware Avenue from Adams
Street to Elsmere Avenue, and portions of Kenwood Avenue and Adams Street. These enhancements consist
of new sidewalks, crosswalks, curbing, on-street parking, new road pavement, street trees and decorative
lighting fixtures. Infrastructure improvements under the roadway will include new storm drains and a water
line replacement.
Construction is projected to extend to the end of 2017; minor restoration work and landscaping may be
necessary in the spring of 2018. T
raffic and travel will be impacted - see below for important information.
Beginning in June construction will occur
M-F generally from 7:30am to 5:00pm and this portion of Delaware Avenue will only be
open to one lane of traffic in one direction. All other times of the day, the road is expected to be open to
two-way traffic. When Delaware Avenue is down to one lane, travel will be one way - either eastbound
towards Albany or westbound towards Town Hall. At these times, detours will be provided for travel in the
opposite direction, using either Hudson Avenue, or Kenwood Avenue
(during non-school hours).

The Chamber is excited to be a part of a brand new initiative in town!
Art on the Rail Trail (ART)
is a new initiative designed to bring public art installations to the
Albany County Helderberg-Hudson Rail Trail.
ART was conceived of as a means to enrich the lives of visitors to the Rail Trail and to encourage usage of the trail by local residents as well as regional visitors.
This new committee of the
Mohawk Hudson Land Conservancy is a collaboration between town residents, local non-profits, with town, county and Bethlehem Chamber of Commerce representation. While the ultimate goal is to see various mediums of art up and down the trail, the pilot project consists of one mural to be painted this year. The mural will be painted on the side wall of the town-owned building located at the intersection of the rail trail and Adams St.
Help them reach their fundraising goal of $10,000 -
for more information on the
project and ways you can help donate,
visit their
website
or connect on social media.

Thank you for your continued support of our Chamber and the community!
