Phase Two work to begin on Hike & Bike Trail in Mill Creek Park

Work is scheduled to get under way Tuesday on Phase Two of the East Park Hike & Bike Trail in Mill Creek Park.

Crews will be clearing land, excavating, and pavement work along a new trail parallel to East Park Drive just north of Canfield Road.

The project is a continuation of work done three years ago to allow pedestrians and cyclists to travel through the East Park Corridor in Youngstown and Boardman.

A portion of the Lanterman’s Mill Overflow parking lot will be used by the contractor for staging equipment but will remain open for use by the public.

No roads, trails, programs, special events or rentals will be impacted by the temporary closures.

The project is expected to last approximately sixty days in total, barring any inclement weather that would delay or prolong the anticipated project schedule.
