While the highway project for the Woodman Drive interchange with US 35 is continuing, the Creekside Trail has been re-opened.
As scheduled, the need for restricting use of the Creekside Trail beneath the Woodman Drive overpass has ended. The barriers on the trail and the signed detour through the neighborhood east of Woodman Drive have been taken down, and trail users may once again enjoy the Creekside Trail, and its easy connection between Beavercreek, Riverside and Dayton.

The Ohio Department of Transportation recently announced that the Peterson Road Bridge between Troy and Piqua will be closed starting on February 8, 2024. The closure will remain in effect through August 2024. This closure is needed to undertake a project to completely replace the Peterson Road Bridge over the Great Miami River.
Here's an important note: this bridge replacement project will NOT result in a closure or detour of the Great Miami River Trail.

Many trail users looking to explore a new (to them) section of the Miami Valley Trails, or looking to visit the Miami Valley Trails for the first time from another part of the country like to do advance planning using an interactive map. The Miami Valley Trails website has a map of the network on a static map, which, as has been communicated several time, some find to be difficult to use, and less informative than desired. The honest truth here is, building and maintaining a Google Maps level of interface would incur monthly fees from Google that were simply too high for our budget.
