About this Article

he western portion of the bridge that spans the Fox River in the Fabyan Forest Preserve has foundation cracks. The bridge may be up to 100 years old. Kane County Forest Preserve Commissioners are leaning toward tearing that section of the bridge down and coupling that with improvements to the causeway it spans to improve the hydrology of the Fox River. But not everyone is pleased with potentially losing the old bridge.
