Project Description
The Illinois Trail project received $1 million in funding from Next Level Trails from the State of Indiana. This nearly two-mile long trail will extend the trail at Rockhill Park to the intersection of Getz Road and Illinois Road, connecting trail users with Parkwest Shopping Center, Jefferson Pointe and the many businesses, retail centers and restaurants along the Illinois Road corridor. The project also includes the resurfacing of Illinois Road and improvements to four intersections. The project will bid in August of 2025 with construction taking place from October of 2025 to October of 2026.
