The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT), in partnership with the Miami Conservancy District - MCD, is making safety improvements to the Great Miami River Trail in Miamisburg.

This work will take place near the Linden Avenue and Miami Avenue intersection. Improvements include a new curb ramp, high-visibility crosswalk markings and flashing pedestrian beacon signs.

To complete the project, the trail between Linden Avenue and Rice Field will be closed beginning Monday, Aug. 10, 2026. A signed detour will be available during the closure.

Starting July 20, The Miami Conservancy District is closing the Great Miami River Trail where it crosses over the roof of the Dayton Canoe Club clubhouse near the Helena Street Bridge. This spot has been patched again and again over the years — time to fix it for good.

For about 30 days, crews will replace the worn concrete deck, rebuild the joints, and stop water from leaking into the clubhouse below. The result will be a much smoother trail and water tight roof. Trail expected to reopen around August 18.

Another fire on the former railroad bridge over the Great Miami River has closed the span in Piqua. The bridge is along the Ohio-to-Indiana Trail (36). The trail is open, however, the bridge cannot be accessed.

Here is a link to a Channel 7 story about the incident.

Beginning Wednesday, April 22, the funds generated through FLMSP's 2025 Repaving Campaign will be put to use. ODNR, using those funds and other monies, will repave the section of the Little Miami Scenic Trail from the Lebanon Spur south to MM 37, north of the Fosters trailhead. This work is expected to be completed by May 1. This paving work will result in a trail closure.

As construction continues on the new bridge linking the Little Miami Scenic Trail to Great Council State Park, the LMST will be closed in the vicinity of Brush Row Road for a period of two months starting approximately April 15, 2026.

ODOT will be posting a detour for this closure. The detour will be about 2/3 of a mile along US 68.
