Valley Parkway near Rocky River Nature Center Closure
The Cleveland Metroparks is closing Valley Parkway and the bridge in front of the Rocky River Nature Center for repairs. The area will be closed beginning March 3, 2025 until sometime in August of 2025. Detour signs will be posted. The detour from the south will involve Cedar Point Road to Columbia, Mastick Road, down Shepards Lane.
Hikes from the Nature Center should not be disturbed. Hikers are reminded to allow themselves extra time to get to hikes at the Nature Center. Also, please allow extra time to get to the Lagoon area when coming from the north.

Chardon Road (US-6) bridge Closure
A construction project will be starting in March 2025 and lasting through at least October 2025 affecting CHC hikers. The Ohio Department of Transportation is planning to replace the superstructure of the Chardon Road (US-6) bridge over the Chagrin River in Willoughby Hills. The bridge will be closed to all traffic during construction and traffic will be detoured to I-90. The one lane bridge parallel to the Chardon road bridge is scheduled to close as well. The official detour will utilize SR 91 (SOM Center Road), I-90, and SR 306 (Chillicothe Road). Hikers going to the North Chagrin Reservation, Chapin Forest and Gully Brook, depending on your direction of travel, may need to allow themselves some extra time.
