Rock Run Trail Closure Alert: Trail Users Should Obey The Signs

(The following edited press release is from Cindy Cain at the Will County Forest Preserve District.)

JOLIET — A portion of the Rock Run Greenway Trail and the parking lot at Rock Run Preserve – Paul V. Nichols Access Area in Joliet are both scheduled to close for several months beginning Wednesday, March 26, for an improvement project.

The Rock Run Greenway Trail section that will be closed is west and south of the Paul V. Nichols Access Area on Essington Road. During the closure, the trail section will be repaved and realigned to decrease blind spots on the path. The work also will include a new boardwalk.

The contractor working on the project will install barricades and signs alerting path users to the closures. Trail users should obey the signs and not use the access area or path section during this time.

Rock Run Preserve – Black Road Access and the remainder of the Rock Run Greenway Trail will remain open to the public during this time.

Updates will be posted on the Forest Preserve District of Will County’s Current Headlines section of its website, ReconnectWithNature.or
