The Ohio Department of Transportation District 7 wants public opinions on infrastructure and trail projects.

The City of Troy and ODOT have a proposal to improve safety on the state Route 41/Interstate 75 ramp intersection and improve pedestrian access on the interchange, according to a statement from ODOT.

Construction is scheduled to begin spring 2026 and will require up to six months.

Traffic on state Route 41 will be maintained, but ramp detours will be required.

Five Rivers MetroParks has a proposal to undertake resurfacing and repairs to the Great Miami Recreation Trail from Triangle Park to Rip Rap Road.

“The project is necessary to restore a smooth and safe trail surface,” ODOT said.

Construction is expected to begin in summer 2026 and requires approximately two months. The trail will be detoured during construction with signed detours posted.

ODOT proposes to undertake concrete pavement repairs on U.S. 40 at the Englewood Dam to address deteriorated pavement conditions.

Construction is expected to begin in July 2025 and will require approximately one month.

There will be a signed detour of U.S. 40, and access to Englewood MetroPark will be maintained.
