Icon viewers: This a progress report of the Bluffton Pedestrian and Bike Pathway board. It is an abridged version of the offical report created in May by Fred Steiner, member of the committee.
This is the story of one community’s efforts to construct a bicycle and pedestrian pathway that encircles that community, thus improving the quality of life of its residents.
This on-going project to date has generated approximately $476,278 in donations, grants and gifts-in-kind from all sources.
The bridge over Bentley Road at I-75 will close for four months for deck replacement starting Monday, June 5.
The project starting date was originally scheduled for last week, according to the Ohio Department of Transportation, District 1.
Photos at the bottom of this story demonstrate the work needed on the bridge deck.
The closure also affects the Bentley Road southbound entrance and exit ramps only. The northbound entrance and exit ramps remain open, but traffic will not be permitted to turn west onto Bentley to enter Bluffton.
