Your Thoughts? - Temporary Closure of the HOOT in 2011 For Paving Activities
In the summer of 2011, the Knox County Board of Commissioners, Knox County
Park District and the Ohio Department of Transportation will be improving the
existing Heart of Ohio Trail between Updike Road and Bishop Road with a 10 foot
wide asphalt paved trail, a length of 2.15 miles. The project will also include the improvement of the at-grade crossing of SR 3/US 36 east of Centerburg. The trail improvement is funded
with enhancement funds from the Ohio Department of Transportation.
As a result, a portion of the Heart of Ohio Trail will be temporarily closed during
construction and paving of the trail. The temporary closure is needed to ensure
safety during the construction of the project. Detour routes are not available in
this portion of the trail. Portions of the trial will be reopened as they are finished
or become safe for travel. The temporary closure notices will be posted at the
Centerburg end of the trail during construction and on the Knox County Park
District website. We would like to receive your opinion on the proposed closures.
