Update on (and under) the Third Street Bridge

It was welcome news in recent weeks that the Peace Bridge, the Third Street Bridge, has re-opened to traffic. In addition to the motor travel lanes, the new Peace Bridge also features separated bike facility on the downstream side of the bridge. This very wide space, elevated like a sidewalk, is designed as a shared space for pedestrians and cyclists crossing the river between Wright-Dunbar and downtown.

Future Projects on the Trails

The Ohio Department of Transportation - District 7 recently put out a call for public comments on two Miami Valley Trail-related projects scheduled to occur in the future. Below are brief descriptions and a link to the ODOT web page where you can leave any comments or thoughts you may have about these projects. Comments are being accepted between now and November 30, 2021.

Mad River Trail: Repaved!

The late-summer project to repave the Mad River Trail between Eastwood MetroPark and RiverScape MetroPark is completed. The Mad River Trail is a key segment in the only trail connection between the Little Miami Scenic Trail and the Great Miami River Trail so having this trail back online is very important. The Mad River Trail is a key connection for bicycle commuters riding to Wright Patterson AFB from the west and for any commuters headed to Dayton from the east.
