The Rock Run Greenway Trail has reopened along Essington Road but remains closed at Olympic Boulevard.

The sidewalk section of the trail on the east side of Essington Road that runs north from Paul V. Nichols Access to Theodore Street was closed for several months for a sidewalk conversion project. The former sidewalk has been converted into a 10-foot-wide paved path to match the rest of the trail. The project also included pedestrian signal improvements at the intersection of Essington Road and the Paul V. Nichols Access drive.  

But the Rock Run Greenway Trail remains closed at Olympic Boulevard for a City of Joliet project. This trail section is expected to reopen in the fall. 

Other construction work is taking place in the Houbolt Road corridor and path users are urged to use caution. Construction vehicles and barricades are present as the work continues and intermittent trail closures may be needed as the city's road work continues north of the Forest Preserve District's Lower Rock Run Preserve – I&M Canal Access.
