The Veterans Memorial Trail has been an ongoing Forest Preserve regional trail project for the past two decades. It is a trail system that is planned to utilize right-of-way within and/or near the Veterans Memorial Tollway (I-355). When complete, the trail will extend from Internationale Parkway in the Village of Woodridge, to 127th Street in Lemont, and to Route 6 in the Village of New Lenox while also connecting the communities of Romeoville, Lockport, and unincorporated areas of Will County. Two segments of the trail have already been completed and are open for public use. The northern segment from Internationale Parkway to 135th Street in Romeoville and a middle segment from the Spring Creek Greenway Trail in Hadley Valley Preserve to the 159th Street Trail in Lockport/Homer Glen. The Forest Preserve District of Will County (District) is seeking proposals for engineering services to update previous Phase I studies, conduct additional Phase I studies as needed, and perform Phase II design and permitting services for the proposed trail from 159th Street to 135th / 127th Street.
