Utility tree-trimming to briefly close portions of Fox River Trail in June

Submitted by Forest Preserve District of Kane County

Two utility tree-trimming projects will prompt intermittent closures of portions of the Fox River Trail in East Dundee and Carpentersville next month.

In East Dundee, ComEd contractor Asplundh will trim trees underneath power lines and remove dead trees that threaten lines along the Fox River Trail, from Williams Avenue south to Interstate 90.

Additionally, ComEd contractor Arborworks will remove dead ash trees that threaten power lines along the Fox River Trail from Main Street in Carpentersville south to Barrington Avenue in East Dundee.

The tree-trimming/removal projects are expected to begin June 4, and will be completed by June 29.

The Forest Preserve District asks trail users to be mindful of the project, heavy machinery being used, and of the possibility of intermittent trail closures during the time frames indicated.

Signs on both ends of the projects will alert trail users to each project.
