Camp Chase Trail - Current PROGRESS

10/10/14:  The trail currently ends at Alton Road, the next section to open will be to Galloway Road. Currently, the best place to access the trail and park a motor vehicle is at the Trailhead in Battelle Darby Creek MetroPark 8465 Alkire Road, GIS: 39.893428, -83.215835 Google Maps Link

 

In late September, the bridge was placed over Hellbranch Run, West of Galloway Rd.  We expect this section between Alton Road and Galloway Rd to be paved late in 2014. 

 

Clearing has commenced in the section leading up to and leading from the trail Bridge over I-270; the prefabricated bridge over the interstate has NOT been placed yet. (Please forgive the mis-statement previously).  We expect this section to be smooth gravel until it is paved in early to mid 2015.
