YOUNGSTOWN - You know the winter season has arrived in the Valley when Mill Creek MetroParks announces road closures.

Effective Monday, November 30, 2020, the following roads in Mill Creek Park will be closed to vehicular traffic for the winter:

• High Drive, between Chestnut Hill Drive and West Cohasset Drive
• Chestnut Hill Drive, between Canfield Road and High Drive
• Calvary Run Drive, between Belle Vista Avenue and Milton Avenue

When closed to vehicular traffic, these roads are available for recreational use for hiking, cross country skiing, and sledding.

Aside from recreational opportunities, the benefits of winter road closures include cost savings associated with snow removal as well as a reduction of negative environmental impacts from deicing salt.

All roads will reopen in the spring when weather permits.
