This June meeting will offer a visit to the new bridge over Salt Creek in Elk Grove Village. The old bridge spanned only the creek and left the approaches at each end under water after heavy rains. The new bridge includes an extra span which reaches across not only the creek, but also the flood plain area at each end of the bridge it more useful after rain events.
Meet at the home of SCWN president Nick Nikola,
see the new bridge, and join our June meeting.
