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.
