ILLINOIS PRAIRIE PATH – AURORA BRANCH – FRONTENAC ROAD TO THE CN / EJ&E RAILROAD
This segment of the Prairie Path is closed due to changed traffic patterns on the CN / EJ&E Railroad. The railroad is currently parking trains at the existing at-grade railroad crossing necessitating the re-routing of the Prairie Path.
