Monday is the grand opening of the long-awaited double-track of the South Shore Line.
The $650 million project is expected to dramatically reduce travel times in northwest Indiana . It was also expected to make critical safety improvements at grade crossings and platform improvements at five stations. Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb spoke on the project in Gary Monday morning.
Holcomb announced construction could begin on the project with the use of federal funds in January 2021. It's one of the the largest public transit investments in Indiana's history, a press release from the governor's office said. "One hundred years later, this Double Track Project will continue to transform Northwest Indiana for generations to come," Gov. Holcomb said. "This game-changing project is yet another example of how the State of Indiana continues to make targeted investments that attract talent and commercial investment that in turn helps our communities take it to their next level."Combined, the Double Track and West Lake Corridor projects are projected to attract approximately $2.
