In an effort to improve connectivity between Lehigh campuses and increase motorist, pedestrian, and bicyclist safety on Upper and Lower Sayre Park Roads, Lehigh University is undergoing a pilot project that will alter the traffic pattern on these roads from April 7 to April 14, 2024.
This project will gather data that informs the best methods for increasing the safety of all who travel on these roads. Data collected during this project will be used to explore future safety initiatives for this area. This project furthers the university’s commitment to providing improved, safer access to Mountaintop and Goodman campuses from Asa Packer Campus.
The project will span the entirety of Upper and Lower Sayre Park Roads. During the April 7-14 timeframe, both roads will become one-way only, with vehicular traffic moving in a counterclockwise direction. One lane will be reserved for automobile traffic, and the other lane will be converted into a shared path for pedestrians and bicyclists. Regular traffic patterns will resume on April 15, 2024.
