Valley Street will be closed starting today between Rita Street and Stapleton Court for up to five days, according to a Dayton Police social media post.

The department said a detour using Stanley Avenue and Troy Street will be posted.

The construction involves work on the gas line to the hospital’s behavioral health building, Dayton Children’s spokeswoman Lindsey Nicholson said.
