Development Updates From The Scioto Mile

There’s still a long way to go until the June 2011 completion date of the Scioto Mile project, but a lot of the progress is already starting to shape up.

The most noticeable update is the reopening of a portion of Civic Center Drive, which has been reconfigured into a much narrower and two-way version of its former self. The additional space made by removing lanes will better accommodate pedestrian and bike path traffic as well as additional riverfront landscaping.

Additional updates and information can be found on the project’s officlal update pages by clicking here and here.

Bunch of new construction photos from today. The riverwalk itself is going to look nice next year with the porch swings and planters filled. Happy to see the sidewalk planters extended up Main Street toward front and on Second toward Mound. The restaurant space has come a long way, and the Rich/Town Replacement Bridge is underway too.
