The City of Piqua has closed the wooden bike path bridge spanning the Great Miami River off Main Street following a fire incident involving a railroad tie on Sunday that reignited Monday morning. <\/p>\n

TRENDING STORIES:<\/p>\n

The Piqua Fire Department responded, extinguished the fire, and removed the affected wood to prevent further reignition. <\/p>\n

A fire suppressant was used during response efforts and did enter the river; however, it is non-toxic and does not pose a risk to the public or the environment. <\/p>\n

The bridge will remain closed indefinitely pending a structural safety assessment. <\/p>\n

The bike path remains open, but users will not be able to cross the bridge and should plan to turn around at that location. <\/p>\n
