Virgil Gilman Trail closed through late December
The Virgil Gilman Trail will be closed from mid-October through late December to allow for a water main replacement by the Village of Sugar Grove.
The construction project will prompt closure of the regional trail between Route 56 and Bliss Road in Sugar Grove.
The temporary closure began Oct. 15 and is scheduled to last through Friday, Dec. 21.
In December, the trail will temporarily be resurfaced with limestone screenings.
In May, once the asphalt plants reopen, the trail will again be paved.
The Forest Preserve District of Kane County asks trail users to be mindful of the closure and to plan alternate routes as necessary. Signs will be posted at either end of the construction project, to alert trail users.
