Fox River Trail Closure Continues (Updated 11.8.24): The Fox River Trail just south of Island Park will continue to be closed to the public through Nov. 15 to accommodate construction operations. That section of trail along the east bank of the Fox River was shut down on Nov. 4. The Fox River Trail is closed to northbound, southbound and feeder trail traffic. Trail patrons should adhere to signage where posted and plan for alternative routes. More information about the Union Pacific Third Main Line Project is available on the City of Geneva website: Union Pacific Third Main Line Project | Geneva, IL – Official Website.
Third Rail Project Update (Updated 11.8.24): Western Avenue railroad crossing continues to be closed to traffic as Union Pacific conducts work on the Third Main Line Project. The construction contractor is now anticipating the Western Avenue crossing will be reopened to the public by Friday, Nov. 15, weather permitting. Crews still need to pour concrete and finish asphalt resurfacing in the area in the coming days. Sunset Community Center will remain open and is accessible from its main entrance on Western Avenue, south of the railroad tracks. If you are planning to visit Sunset Community Center/BestLife Fitness during this time, please plan an alternative route to accommodate for this project.
