MetroParks announces winter road closures | The closures became effective Nov. 30. All roads will reopen in spring when weather permits.
The following roads in Mill Creek Park are now closed to vehicular traffic for the winter:
- High Drive, between Chestnut Hill Drive and West Cohasset Drive;
- Chestnut Hill Drive, between Canfield Road and High Drive;
- Calvary Run Drive, between Belle Vista Avenue and Milton Avenue.
The closures became effective Nov. 30. All roads will reopen in spring when weather permits.
While closed to vehicular traffic, these roads are available for hiking, cross-country skiing and sledding. The closures also offer the park district cost savings associated with snow/ice removal and reduce negative environmental impacts from deicing salt.
In the winter months, snow and ice can create slippery roadway conditions. Park district roads with limited shoulders, lack of guardrails and steep grades can become increasingly hazardous for motorists. The MetroParks urges caution when driving.
