Mill Creek MetroParks and the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) announced plans for rehabilitation on the Slippery Rock Bridge on West Glacier Drive within Mill Creek Park, according to a news release.

The $480,000 project is scheduled to begin construction in spring 2026 and is expected to be completed by fall 2026, according to the release.

The release states that the project will address deterioration of the existing structure through repairs and patching, with no widening or realignment planned. The project also plans to include replacement of approach slabs and pavement, as well as guardrails.

During construction, the Slippery Rock Bridge and a section of roadway between West Glacier Drive/West Drive and Robinson Hill Drive/Memorial Hill Drive will be closed to all park users for up to 90 days. A detour will direct park users to Old Furnace Road, located 0.5 miles south of the bridge.

According to the release, detour signage will be posted along West Glacier Drive/West Drive and Robinson Hill Drive/Memorial Hill Drive, and updated project information will be made available on the Mill Creek MetroParks website before the start of construction.
