Shoreline Stabilization Planned Along Naperville Riverwalk

Monday, October 28, 2024

The Naperville Park District will begin a shoreline stabilization project along the West Branch of the DuPage River in late 2024. Park District staff identified an area on the west end of the Riverwalk between Jefferson Avenue and the Jaycee playground where erosion of the shoreline was most severe, and stabilization would benefit the structural integrity of the existing paver walk. During the project, sections of the Riverwalk may be temporarily closed due to project maintenance activities. Closure updates will be communicated through on-site signage and the Park District’s social media.

Construction is expected to conclude in summer 2025. Any comments or questions regarding the work can be directed to Peggy Motta at pmotta@napervilleparks.org. To learn more about the District’s other restoration projects, visit www.napervilleparks.org/restorationprojects.
