A ribbon-cutting event to celebrate the completion of the Longmeadow Parkway Corridor and the opening of the new bridge that crosses the Fox River will be held Thursday. (Kane County)

By MIKE DANAHEY | Elgin Courier-News

The completion of the Longmeadow Parkway Bridge Corridor will be celebrated with a ribbon-cutting event to be held at the Carpentersville bridge at 11:30 a.m. Thursday, Aug. 29.

Years in planning and construction, the opening of the bridge is the last step in a significant development in Kane County infrastructure, “enhancing connectivity, improving
transportation efficiency and fostering economic growth,” a news release said.

The Longmeadow Parkway is a 5.6-mile stretch of road between Huntley Road and Route 62 that crosses through Carpentersville, Algonquin and Barrington Hills. Its centerpiece is the bridge that crosses over the Fox River.

Initially, the bridge was to be paid for with tolls but state legislators secured enough funding to cover the cost of construction bonds without requiring a user fee to pay for them. It is one of three regional bridges over the river in the northern Kane County area.

The Barrington Hills Park District Board/Riding Club of Barrington Hills will hold their monthly meeting this evening in person and via Zoom at 7:00 PM.

A copy of their agenda can be viewed here. Instructions for accessing the meeting remotely can be found here.

Editorial note: Absent from tonight’s agenda is any discussion of the 12th annual The Hills Are Alive Fall Festival 2024 scheduled for Sunday, September 15th at the district Riding Center. Like we’ve noted before, it’s another example of boilerplate agendas to keep taxpaying residents in the dark.

Construction of the Longmeadow Parkway bridge over the Fox River is nearly finished and could open later this month after decades of discussion, planning and construction. (Gloria Casas/The Courier-News)

By GLORIA CASAS | ELGIN COURIER-NEWS

After nearly three decades of planning and construction, the new four-lane Longmeadow Parkway bridge over the Fox River in northern Kane County is nearly ready to open.

Although a date has not be announced, Kane County officials say a tentative ribbon-cutting ceremony is scheduled for later this month. It’s the final piece in the Longmeadow Parkway, a 5.6-mile stretch of road between Huntley Road and Route 62 that crosses through Carpentersville, Algonquin and Barrington Hills.

“The construction contract’s completion date is Sept. 15,” Kane County spokeswoman Julie Mann said. “There’s a possibility that the contractor may finish the project soon, but it is still too early to tell at this point.”

Contractors need to complete bike path paving, pavement striping, traffic signals and landscaping before it’s ready for use, Mann said.

While most of the road is now open and construction of the bridge itself was done in 2020, completion of work near the bridge took years longer than anticipated. Lead was discovered near the site and had to be removed and final paving from Sandbloom/Williams Road east to the Bolz Road connector needed to be done.

“Everyone is happy that it’s finally completed,” Carpentersville Village President John Skillman said.
