2009 Improvements & Repairs

7/2/10 by Ohio Bikeways

Here is a recap by the TimesLeaderOnline.com of the repairs completed in late 2009: "...The bridge received a fresh coat of paint to its steel structure and concrete supports were repaired. Water drainage in the tunnel was recently addressed, the surface of the cave-like interior was redone and protective fencing was added to the exterior of the southern entrance. A combination of grant funds and money from a federal transportation bill was used to complete the work."

Tunnel Closed For Repairs

11/25/09 by Chad McLeish

Good review - I wanted to add that plenty of parking is available where the trail intersects Station Street, and as of November 2009 the tunnel is being renovated. They had the tunnel shut down but work should be nearly complete.

Trail Specs:

Class: A3+

Length: 2.5 miles / asphalt - approx. 10' wide

Condition: Very Good

Facilities: Water fountain & benches at the gazebo. Portable toilets available.

Food: In St. Clairsville.

Parking: Chad McLeish writes "...plenty of parking is available where the trail intersects Station Street."

A few spaces available at the gazebo on Sunset Drive. Directions - Take exit 216 from Rt. 70 & head north on S. Mariette St (Rt. 9). Turn left on Woodrow Ave. (don't let the marked bike lanes fool you; they go in the opposite direction). Woodrow will bend left and soon become Hutchinson, then Sunset Dr (it's the same street, only the names have changed). Soon after Woodrow picks up Hutchinson you will see the gazebo on your right, then parking spaces a little further down on your left.

Parking also at the northern terminus at the ball fields on N. Market St. close to Provident Rd.
