Bike Path Construction Slated to Begin Soon
The 1,200-foot trail will run alongside the Budler Retail development.
Romeoville cycling enthusiasts will soon have a new trail to blaze.
Village trustees on Wednesday awarded a $57,656 contract to Matthew Paving of Oak Lawn to complete work on the Budler Road bike path.
Village engineer Jon Zabrocki said the 1,200-foot path will begin on the west side of Budler Road near the north end of the vacant Budler Retail development, winding around to Trafalger Drive. The project will connect with an existing path.
