The preserve said the three-week closure is necessary as the entrance road replacement project begins. During the closure, the entrance road will be removed and replaced from Bruce Road to the first parking lot as part of a contract awarded by the Board of Commissioners in April.

Weather and other factors could change this closure timeline. Updates will be posted on the Forest Preserve’s website, ReconnectWithNature.org, as needed.
