Beginning on Monday, July 24, West Park Drive from Old Furnace Road to Lily Pond Drive will be closed for resurfacing work. Work to be completed during this closure includes installation of new asphalt drive lanes, aggregate shoulders and pavement markings. Funding for the project is provided by the OPRA/ODOT Park District Drive Improvement Program and Mill Creek MetroParks.
The project is expected to last approximately one week, barring any inclement weather that would delay or prolong the anticipated project schedule and extend the closure.
