I-670 Trail
670/71 Bridge Reconstruction Project
A section of the I-670 Trail between St. Clair and the north entry drive to Fort Hayes High School will be closed beginning December 7, 2011. This 800' closure is for the 670/71 bridge reconstruction project. The path segment will be closed until 2014. The east leg of the trail, from Nelson Road to St. Clair, and the west leg from Jack Gibbs/Cleveland Avenue to Fort Hayes, will remain open. An on-street detour is posted using Spring Street and Long Street.
Blacklick Trail
Blacklick Trail Extension - Retreat at Turnberry
Path construction has begun on a 1.5 mile extension of the Blacklick Creek Trail, from Portman Park to Tussing Road. This connection will complete a link between Portman Park and Blacklick Woods Metro Park. It will also connect 8 miles of Blacklick Creek Trail heading from Three Creeks Park to Portman Park and Pickerington Ponds Metro Park. Construction is expected to last until Fall of 2012.

Portman Park Bridge Replacement
City of Columbus Recreation and Parks and Franklin County Engineers is constructing a new pedestrian bridge at Protman Bridge. The former unsafe road bridge was recently demolished, and they are fast-tracking a new bridge for the Spring of 2012. Thanks for your patience and encouragement as we re-open this popular crossing.
Scioto Trail
Main Street @ Miranova
The trail is now open through downtown. A new underpass is complete beneath the Main Street Bridge. The Rich Street Bridge project will still require users to bike around the construction site until next year, but this short section will be easy to avoid.
OLENTANGY TRAIL
Dodridge Street Bridge Replacement
The trail is detoured for the duration of the Dodridge Street bridge project. This is expected to be an 18 month construction project and will end in the fall of 2012. The detour takes place between the OSU Wetlands Park and Tuttle Park. OSU has a new bikeway along Olentangy River Road, on the west side, from Dodridge to Lane. They are also providing use of the wetland park drive, from the trail to Dodridge. With Dodridge St. being closed to car traffic, we will have a full bikeway width along a short distance of the street for your use. This means that your total detour distance will be the same as the current main trail route.
