Temporary Mill Creek MetroParks Bikeway Closure in Canfield
A section of the Mill Creek MetroParks Bikeway between West Main Street (US 224) and Herbert Road in the City of Canfield is scheduled to be closed on Thursday, October 23, 2025. In addition, spur trails connecting Canfield High School and The Preserve to the Bikeway will be inaccessible throughout the project.
Closure of this bikeway section is due to additional soil sampling to be conducted by August Mack Environmental, Inc., at various locations within and adjacent to Mill Creek MetroParks’ property. The soil samples are a continuation of the required testing and remediation response to the Material Sciences Corporation chemical spill and subsequent soil contamination.
Closure is anticipated to begin by 8:30am and extend into late afternoon. The Bikeway will be reopened upon completion of the project. Inclement weather conditions may alter the project schedule or delay reopening of the Bikeway.
