A key puzzle piece is now in place for a pedestrian bridge linking Meadows and Melas parks and stretching over Northwest Highway and the Union Pacific tracks. Mount Prospect has received a $3 million commitment from the state to help with engineering and construction costs. The Illinois Department of Transportation and Gov. J.B. Pritzker announced Friday that the bridge was among 72 projects selected to receive a total of $127.9 million in awards allocated through the Illinois Transportation Enhancement Program.
