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.

Bluffton High School varsity coach Jeff Richards put together the inaugural alumni football game Friday night.
Twenty-three former ball players took the field with graduates ranging from 1976 to 2017. In the end, White defeated Red by a 45-42 score. The game was well attended and proceeds were raised to start a youth flag football program which will be directed by Richards.
