Section 6: Bridge Replacement on Cowpens Rd.
There is a bridge replacement on Cowpens Rd in section 6 that will last until October 2022 at least. The bypass is to take Three Square Hollow Rd as shown in the attached map.
Detour from the south: turn left at Cowpens/Three Square Hollow roads intersection and continue on Three Square Hollow rd to intersection with Laurel Run rd(approximately 5 1/2 miles). Turn left onto Laurel Run rd and you’re back on the route.
Detour from the north: on Laurel Run rd after passing Bower Mountain rd intersection at top of ridge, drop off the ridge(Henry’s Valley vista part way down to your left), and watch for Three Square Hollow rd intersection with Laurel Run rd after a sweeping left turn. Take a right onto Three Square Hollow rd and follow for approximately 5 1/2 miles.

Section 9: Road Closure
Deadman Hollow Rd is closed in section 9 at the intersection of Deadman Road and Painter-Leetonia Road. The workaround is to continue on Painter-Leetonia Road, bypassing Deadman Hollow Rd altogether. This bypasses Colton Point State Park. If riders wish to visit Colton Point Park, get on Colton Road at the Painter-Leetonia Road.

There is a minor correction to the GPS tracks at Crowfield Rd, Route 322, to Decker Valley Road. Folks will instead need to head NW on Crowfield Rd to Krise Valley Rd, pass under 322, then head South on General Potter Hwy, finally East on Decker Valley Rd.
