Double Track project

The first phase of the South Shore Line's Double Track project could open later this summer. Northern Indiana Commuter Transportation District (NICTD) President Mike Noland says construction is wrapping up on the improvements between Michigan City and Dune Park.

Northwest Indiana's commuter rail projects are moving ahead.

South Shore Line officials say they're working to smooth out some of the challenges caused by the Double Track project. The work has split the railroad in two, with buses bridging the gap between Gary and Michigan City.

The South Shore Line's Miller station is being temporarily relocated, as Double Track work continues. Starting Thursday, the parking lot and station will be closed and replaced with a temporary parking lot and bus stop east of the station on the south side of Melton Road.

More of the South Shore Line's route will be replaced with buses next week. The railroad says passengers will be bussed between Carroll Avenue and Gary/Chicago Airport Monday, August 1 through Friday, August 5.

Road work continues next week on region highways.

More South Shore Line service is being replaced by buses this week. Between now and Thursday, midday westbound trains will be replaced by buses from Carroll Avenue all the way to Gary/Chicago Airport (Clark Road), roughly between 8:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. Eastbound trains leaving Millennium Station between 8:45 a.m. at 4:02 p.m. will have their passengers bussed between Gary and Michigan City.

Governor Eric Holcomb touted a few Northwest Indiana infrastructure investments during Tuesday's State of the State address.
