Construction on the Bentley Road Pathway will begin Monday, May 7, according to Jesse Blackburn, interim village administrator.
Bentley Road will be closed from Elm Street to the access road for Bluffton University Buildings and Grounds.
When completed, this project will extend Bluffton’s existing bicycle and pedestrian pathway network to the north westside of Bluffton near Bluffton University from where the recently completed Lions Way Augsburger path begins at the intersection of Augsburger Road and Bentley road and ends at the Maple Crest retirement community.
