A new road is being built off of Hayden Run Road just east of Cosgray Road.
The new road, which will be called Hayden Run Boulevard, will be five lanes wide with a median, new lighting, and new drainage. There will be an 8' wide multi-use path on one side of the street and a regular sidewalk on the other. Eventually, Hayden Run Boulevard will connect with Avery Road. The connection to Avery Road is part of the second phase of the overall project tentatively scheduled for 2010. The present Hayden Run Road will stay where it is. With completion of the entire project, motorists traveling east on Hayden Run Road will encounter a fork in the road, with Hayden Run Boulevard as one leg and with Hayden Run Road (headed southeasterly) as the other.
