A $964,000 city-funded project is on the way to improve safety along Philadelphia Drive, a corridor neighbors have long flagged for speeding and traffic concerns. The project will narrow travel lanes to slow vehicles, add bike lanes along most of the 1.4-mile stretch, and complete missing sidewalks between West Riverview Avenue and Salem Avenue. For nearby residents, this means safer walking, biking, driving, and a street that better serves the neighborhood as a whole.
Miamisburg residents should plan ahead as Buckeye Street will be closed between 6th Street and the railroad tracks starting Tuesday, February 10 at 8 AM. Crews will be working on important sanitary sewer repairs, requiring a full closure of this section during construction. While detours may add a few minutes to daily routines, the work helps keep essential infrastructure reliable for the long term.
