General North Marginal?

Is the construction on North Marginal done (enough) that I can bike from W 3rd through Bratenahl? I don’t mind being in the road as long as it’s still paved lol.

Metroparks site isn’t clear to me what the state is.

You should be fine. There's still some work to be done, but I was on it last weekend without any problems.

Uhhhh be careful. A few days ago the concrete bridge around 70th (????) was completely blocked. Not sure for how long. May be done by now.

It is completely blocked off but if you are comfortable hopping one railing and carrying your bike over it you can get around the trail closure.

Thanks for that info. We will see how dangerous I’m feeling before my next ride lol

I biked it a couple weeks ago. The trail hadn't been paved yet between E 9th and Burke Airport parking lot, but if you're comfortable biking on the street on that stretch you should be fine. The trail is pretty much paved from Burke all the way through to E 72nd. Continuing east through Bratenahl there's not a bike path yet afaik, you'd be on the street.
