Schedule For Rock Run Greenway Trail Closure In Joliet

From the City of Joliet:

February 21, 2020

Rock Run Greenway Trail, between Jefferson Street and McDonough Street, will be closed beginning on Tuesday, February 25th, 2020. The trail closure will NOT have a posted detour and shall be considered a dead end for the duration of the closure. The trail closure is expected to last approximately (4) days and will be reopened for the weekend.

Another scheduled trail closure, between Jefferson Street and McDonough Street, will begin on Tuesday, March 3rd, 2020 for approximately (4) additional days.

Upon completion of these two scheduled closures the Rock Run Greenway trail will remain closed, between McDonough Street and Olympic Boulevard, for approximately 4 months with the already posted detour on the parkway sidewalk of Houbolt Road. The Rock Run Greenway trail modifications are due to the Rock Run Interceptor Rehabilitation Project. This project includes installation of approximately 13,700 linear feet of 30-inch to 48-inch cured-in-place-pipelining. This project will restore the structural integrity of the sanitary sewer interceptor and reduce the amount of rain water entering the sanitary system. Walkers and bikers that use Rock Run Greenway Trail should not enter and use extreme caution near the vicinity of the work zone.

If you have any questions about the City’s Rock Run Interceptor Rehabilitation Project, please contact Owen Dean with the Department of Public Utilities at 815-724-4254.
