West Park Drive Improvements

Beginning Monday, November 7, 2022, construction will be underway in Mill Creek Park for the infrastructure improvements to West Park Drive. Work will consist of removing stone curb, constructing concrete curb, replacement of catch basins and drainage conduit, placing embankment, and linear grading of shoulders.

West Park Drive will be closed from Old Furnace Road to Bears Den Drive throughout the duration of the project. No programs, special events or rentals will be impacted by these temporary closures. The project is expected to last approximately forty-two (42) days in total, barring any inclement weather that would delay or prolong the anticipated project schedule.
