The Village of River Forest - in cooperation with the Village of Oak Park, the Village of Forest Park, and the Illinois Department of Transportation - is conducting a study for the reconstruction the railroad bridge that carries the CTA and Metra rail lines over Harlem Avenue just south of Lake Street. This bridge is also known and the Union Pacific, or UP, bridge over Harlem Avenue... The purpose of the reconstruction project is to eliminate the congestion problems caused by the configuration of the existing structure, which has remained essentially unchanged since its construction nearly 100 years ago. Streetscape enhancements are also being considered as part of the project.
