Salt Creek Trail Closure

The Illinois Tollway has temporarily closed a portion of the Salt Creek Trail under the Central Tri-State (I-294) Tollway through December. No detour is provided. The Salt Creek Trail waterway under I-294 will remain open to paddlers. As part of the Central Tri-State Tollway (I-294) Project, the Illinois Tollway is reconstructing and widening I-294 between Balmoral Avenue and 95th Street. 

Advance work for this project includes stormwater and drainage work on the east side of I-294 between 22nd Street and Salt Creek in the Village of Oak Brook, and closure of the Salt Creek Trail is necessary for the safety of bicyclists and pedestrians.

Bike Trail Maps

Home to a gateway between the DuPage and Cook County bike trail, Bemis Woods, the Dean Nature Sanctuary provides the perfect spot to plan your roundtrip biking excursion.

So everyone can enjoy the trail safely, here are a few guidelines for trail users:

  • Stay to the right.
  • Bicyclists should yield to walkers.
  • To avoid conflicts with other users, pass to the left, announcing, "Passing on your left" before you overtake slower moving traffic.
  • Please avoid stopping and blocking the path. Step off to the side if you wish to talk or stop for any other reason.
  • Please dispose of all trash properly. This is your trail. Keep it clean.
  • Poison ivy and poison oak are common along many Illinois trails. Avoid contact with plants unless you’re certain of their species.
  • Due to its proximity to the creek, at times certain sections of the trail can become submerged after heavy rains or melting snow that cause high water levels. When this occurs, portions of the trail that pass under St. Charles Road, Roosevelt Road and I-294 are closed for safety purposes.
  • Finally, bicyclists should wear a helmet. Three out of four bicyclist fatalities are due to head injuries--most of which could have been avoided if the bicyclist had been wearing a helmet
