CANFIELD — A section of the Mill Creek MetroParks Bikeway between West Main Street (U.S. 224) and Herbert Road will be closed today. In addition, spur trails connecting Canfield High School and The Preserve to the bikeway will be inaccessible.

The project involves additional soil sampling being conducted by August Mack Environmental, Inc., at various locations within and adjacent to Mill Creek MetroParks’ property. The soil samples are a continuation of the required testing and remediation response to the Material Sciences Corp. chemical spill and subsequent soil contamination in July 2024.

Closure is anticipated to begin by 8:30 a.m. and extend into late afternoon. Inclement weather conditions may alter the project schedule or delay reopening of the bikeway.
