ILLINOIS PRAIRIE PATH – AURORA BRANCH – MOLITOR TO INDIAN TRAIL

The IPP Aurora Branch is now open! It had been closed between Molitor and Indian Trail. It has been widened and re-surfaced, drainage has been improved, and new safety railings will be placed at various locations in the fourth quarter. Proper temporary safety measures have been put in place in the meantime. This Prairie Path project is being constructed through a contract between Martam Construction Company and IDOT.
