A utility tree-trimming project will prompt intermittent closures of portions of the Fox River Trail in Elgin and the Dundee area in October.

Lewis Tree Service will be trimming and removing dead ash trees under ComEd's power lines. Work will take place along Williams Place on the north, to Richardson Drive on the south. Also, on I-90 on the north to Slade Avenue on the south.

The tree-trimming/removal projects are expected to begin Oct. 1, and will be completed by Oct. 31.

The Forest Preserve District of Kane County 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 project will alert trail users.
