Trail Closure and Maintenance Information

 

Aurora Branch closure – along Carlton Ave in Wheaton

The Illinois Prairie Path will be reconstructed along Carlton Avenue in Wheaton between Roosevelt Road and Liberty Drive. The project includes an 8-foot wide concrete path, with Detectable Warnings at appropriate locations, some drainage work, and landscape restoration.
The path will be closed to pedestrian/bike traffic and will be detoured using West Street (to the east) and Delles Road (to the west). Carlton Avenue will remain open to vehicular traffic, but parking will be prohibited during construction.
It is anticipated that work will begin the week of April 7, 2025. The specified completion date is May 23, 2025, but landscape restoration may be extended past this date.

Army Trail and County Farm gravel lots – Elgin Branch

In March 2025, DuPage County Division of Transportation (DuDOT) installed “Not a Parking Lot” signs at the gravel lots at the Army Trail trailhead (Elgin branch) and the County Farm/Geneva Rd lot (Elgin branch).

DuDOT stated, “If anyone from the public parks in these areas, they are doing so at their own risk”.  The IPPc understands that there’s little/no risk of being ticketed or towed.

The IPPc and others will continue to advocate to have these areas fully available for parking once again.

Email  TrailPathCoordinator@dupagecounty.gov  with concerns or questions.

 

 

Aurora Branch closure @ Indian Trail

The crossing of Indian Trail road at High street is fully functional.  It’s much safer!  There is still some minor construction in the area so continue to be careful.
