The $34 million project to replace the Fox River rail bridge just south of Elgin’s National Street Metra station and build a second rail bridge alongside it could be completed as soon as next fall, officials said.
A ceremony to celebrate the first phase of work being finished on the Metra Z100 Fox River Bridge was held Thursday and attended by U.S. Sen. Tammy Duckworth, U.S. Reps, Raja Krishnamoorthi, D-Schaumburg, and Sean Casten, D-Downers Grove, who represent the Elgin area, and Metra representatives.
