A nearly two-and-a-half-mile-long section of the Mill Creek MetroParks Bikeway in Austintown is closed starting Monday, June 9, for resurfacing.
The closure will affect the segment from New Road to Silica Road, including the Mahoning Avenue Bridge. The project, expected to last about three weeks, depending on weather, will install a new asphalt surface.
“This highly used segment will be temporarily closed to allow for the installation of a new asphalt surface,” the park stated in a news release.
During construction, the affected section, including the Mahoning Avenue Bridge, will be completely inaccessible. Park visitors are advised to plan alternative routes or use other park trails during the closure.

Mill Creek MetroParks is pleased to announce two of its scenic drives—High Drive and Bears Den Drive—will soon be receiving important infrastructure upgrades to enhance safety and visitor experience. Beginning Wednesday, June 11, 2025, these roads will be temporarily closed for resurfacing and related improvements.
The project includes the installation of a new asphalt surface, fresh pavement markings, and aggregate shoulders, designed to improve durability and accessibility for all visitors.
The anticipated duration of the project is approximately three weeks, weather permitting. During this time, access to Scholl Pavilion and Chestnut Hill Drive will vary, depending on the phase of construction.
