Longmeadow Parkway Bridge Corridor
Construction is substantially complete and the final segment from IL 31 to the Bolz Connector Road, including the new toll-free bridge over the Fox River, was fully opened to traffic on August 29, 2024.
The Longmeadow Parkway Fox River Bridge Corridor is a four-lane minor arterial roadway corridor, approximately 5.6 miles in length, constructed to help alleviate traffic congestion in northern Kane County. The proposed road passes through portions of the Villages of Algonquin, Carpentersville and Barrington Hills, as well as unincorporated areas of Kane County. The new roadway alignment was constructed from just west of the Huntley/Boyer Road intersection east to Illinois Route 62 including a new toll-free bridge over the Fox River.

As part of the final design of the proposed Longmeadow Parkway over the Fox River Bridge and approaches, the engineering team, led by Crawford Murphy and Tilly, assisted by Invision, developed a video to visualize a portion of the corridor. 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.
