About this Article

The No. 1 priority in St. Charles for the past three years will be checked off the list Saturday as the city opens the Red Gate bridge to automobile traffic. Residents of the city have paid, and will continue to pay, an extra tax for the project for several years. The fruit of that tax is a new crossing over the Fox River that is supposed to help ease congestion on the city's Main Street.
