The Kane County Division of Transportation has posted a video that depicts the final design of the long-awaited Longmeadow Parkway, a 5.6-mile stretch of roadway that will provide another route across the Fox River.
The proposed road passes through portions of the villages of Algonquin, Carpentersville and Barrington Hills, as well as unincorporated areas of Kane County.

As part of the final design, the Crawford Murphy and Tilly engineering team created the”flyover video,” which helps to “visualize a portion of the corridor,” according to the Kane County Division of Transportation website.
The video begins with a view of the south side of the Fox River bridge, moves to the proposed mixed use path overpass within the Brunner Family Forest Preserve, tracks in an easterly direction to the intersection of Longmeadow Parkway and the Bolz Road connector, then turns around heading in a westerly direction back over the bridge and finishing back at the Brunner Family Forest Preserve proposed mixed use path overpass.
