Fox River Trail Closures Planned This Week in Batavia
The trail will close for a period of time this week as crews trim trees along the path.
ELGIN, IL — Two tree-trimming projects will prompt intermittent closures of portions of the Illinois Prairie Path in Elgin and the Fox River Trail in Batavia, July 22 - Aug. 5. In Elgin, the work zone extends from Raymond Street south to Stearns Road, according to a news release. In Batavia, the work zone runs along the Fox River Trail within Glenwood Park Forest Preserve.
For each project, a contractor will remove any trees that are interfering with power lines, and trim back others that are close to utility lines.
The Forest Preserve District asks trail users to be mindful of the projects, heavy machinery being used, and of the possibility of intermittent trail closures during the time frames indicated. Signs for the projects will be displayed to alert trail users.
