Flooding won't end soon, but boating restrictions will
Posted June 24, 2008 11:00 pm
Fox Waterway Agency officials say boating restrictions will be lifted Thursday on a portion of the Chain O' Lakes and Fox River.
The decision, which goes into effect at 8 a.m., opens the door for boaters to cruise at no-wake speeds.
Officials said they received notice from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources that swift currents surrounding bridges have slowed, and most large obstructions have been removed.
