Valley Street will be closed between Rita Street and Stapleton Court, according to a traffic advisory the police department posted this week to its social media channel on X, the former Twitter:

A detour, using Stanley Avenue and Troy Street, will be posted, according to the police department.

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