Delaware and Raritan Canal bridge at Route 1 - The NJ Department of Transportation is constructing a pedestrian overpass where the Delaware and Raritan Canal Towpath crosses Route 1 in Lawrence Township.

Route 29 Bikeway - The NJ Department of Transportation will be constructing a multi-use bicycle and pedestrian path along Route 29 adjacent to the Delaware River. The path will begin at the southern terminus of Stacy Park and extend south to the Trenton Fishing Wharf. The Fishing Wharf will also be rehabilitated. This bikeway is an integral part of providing continuous public acces to the Delaware waterfront along the length of Trenton. Construction could begin in late 2004.

East Coast Greenway - This is an ambitious project to link existing and planned multi-use paths, connecting urban and rural areas from Maine to Florida. The Mercer County section will utilize the D&R Canal State Park and cross into Pennsylvania over the Calhoun Street bridge in Trenton.
