The new pathway extends from Byers Road east to state Route 741, including a 14-foot-wide path along the bridge over Interstate 75, and connects to a new sidewalk that extends north on Route 741 to Kingsridge Drive.

These improvements offer easier and safer access to the Miami Crossing District’s shopping restaurants, hotels and entertainment venues.

This is the first collaborative project between Miami Twp. and the Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission since rejoining the commission in 2015.
