The Mount Vernon Avenue bridge, which spans the Kokosing River, was reduced to one lane from August 2019 to December 2020 as construction crews replaced it. The finished product is wider than the original (three lanes instead of two) and it includes multi-use trails on both sides, connecting the Kokosing Gap Trail to Mount Vernon Nazarene University s campus and downtown Mount Vernon, respectively. The project cost $6.8 million and was funded largely through state grants.
