Army Trail Road

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Army Trail Road is a county road in DuPage County, Illinois. Army Trail Road begins at the Addison Village Hall on John F. Kennedy Drive in Addison, Illinois. It ends at Illinois Route 25 in Wayne, Illinois. Army Trail Road is marked as DuPage County Highway 11.

Army Trail Road followed an Indian Trail for early settlers who traveled in covered wagons in the early 1800s. Its name is based on the fact that the General Winfield Scott's troops used this route during the Black Hawk War.

In late 2004, Army Trail Road began construction on the road to widen the road to six lanes. A divider was to be set in place including new turn lanes and paving of the road. Project has completed sections of the road in Addison and was expected to be completed in November 2005.
