September 10, 2013, the Great Miami River Trail bridge over the Great Miami River between Piqua and Troy moved into the construction phase with a ceremonial groundbreaking. This bridge will complete the last trail gap between Piqua, OH and the rest of the Miami Valley Trails. A large group of well wishers came to witness the groundbreaking, done by Bob Shook, who has been a leader in Miami County regarding trail development for over 15 years.
The bridge is scheduled to be completed in 2014.
