C&O Trail

Governor Eric Holcomb marked the completion of 100 miles of trails, under his Next Level Trails program. The governor joined officials in Merrillville on Tuesday to cut the ribbon on the extension of the C&O Greenway.

It's now possible to ride a bike from just north of Southlake Mall to Griffith, Highland and Hammond using a connected series of trails.

Merrillville's C&O Trail is a step closer to being connected to the rest of the Region's trail network. The town's redevelopment commission recently selected Gariup Construction Company to build an extension for a cost of $1,365,000.

Northwest Indiana's trail system is getting a boost.
