The Bloomingdale Trail

The North Branch River Works launches Tuesday with plans for Logan Square, Wicker Park and Lincoln Park.

Market organizers are trying to find a permanent weekend location near the Bloomingdale Trail.

A two minute time lapse video shows the complete relocation of a bridge on Ashland Ave. to its new home.

The new bridge will be wider and higher to alleviate traffic concerns, the city said.

"We feel like we are part of history in the making," said one resident, awoken at 4:30 a.m.

More work is planned as construction on the Bloomingdale Trail continues.

The work was originally scheduled for last month but postponed due to weather and utilities issues.

Western had been scheduled to be closed this weekend for Bloomingdale Trail construction.

One participant described the path as a collaboration of "engineering and art."

The "meditative" 13,000-square-foot area with boulders for seats reminded one visitor of a Japanese park.

Walsh Construction bid $53.7 million to build the trail on abandoned railroad tracks.

Officials held a public meeting to show off the final plans before a planned August groundbreaking.

Heavy limestone boulders of varying shapes and sizes are the centerpiece attraction at a "passive" park.
