    King Avenue Bridge improvement will close that portion of the Loveland Bike Trail

    Warren County, Ohio – A portion of the Loveland Bike Trail (Little Miami Scenic Bike Trail) is planned to be closed from June 2022 until December 2022, with a two to three-week closure expected in 2023 to tie the new trail into the existing trail.

    A tunnel will be built for a portion of the Little Miami Scenic Bike Trail, which will separate the trail from Grandin Road.

    A new parking lot for trail users will be built and the project also will include a new roundabout at the intersection of the Peters Cartridge Factory development (Cartridge Brewing) and parking lot access for the trail.

    “New wider lanes and shoulders will improve safety for vehicles who use the bridge and separating the bike path from the roadway will significantly improve safety for users of the Little Miami Scenic Bike Trail,” according to a release from Warren County.

    The King Avenue Bridge carries two lanes of traffic across the Little Miami River in Warren County. The bridge will remain in its current two-lane configuration, but the lanes will be widened, and safety shoulders will be added in both directions. The new structure will be built upstream of the existing bridge crossing.

    In addition, a new 10-foot multi-use path will be built on the new bridge that will separate pedestrians from traffic, and a tunnel will be built for a portion of the Little Miami Scenic Bike Trail, which will separate the trail from Grandin Road.

    Traffic will be maintained on the existing roadway for much of 2022, however, King Avenue and Grandin Road near the Little Miami River will each be closed to traffic separately for approximately three to four months in 2023. The closures are necessary so that the new bridge structure can be connected to the existing roadway.

    Access to the development at the Peters Cartridge Factory (Cartridge Brewing) will be limited during different phases of construction.

    Current and Upcoming Construction Activities:

    • Anticipated Construction Duration: March 2022 – December 2023
    • Tree Clearing for Construction Site: March 2022
    • Phase 1 Construction (bridge substructure and roadway fill north of the river): April 2022 – June 2022
