Friends of the Little Miami State Park Newsletter: King Ave. Bridge Project: The trail remains closed at the Grandin Rd. intersection (Peters Cartridge Factory) for continued construction of a new bridge and relocation of a section of trail.

These photos show the new bridge going up over the river. According to the Warren County Engineer’s Office, the northern end of the trail relocation and parking lot construction is slated over the next 3 months or so, and the southern end of the trail relocation will not be able to take place until the existing bridge over the river is removed. The existing bridge removal is planned for July through September of this year, with the southern trail relocation following this work. The Engineer’s Office hopes to have the trail and parking lot open at some point later this fall. Progress reports are available on our FLMSP website and on the Warren County Engineer’s project site.
