Construction and Testing of the West Lake Corridor Project/Monon Corridor

The first online Seminar Series presentation from the Urban Transportation Center at UIC focuses on improving commuter rail for residents of Northwest Indiana.

The West Lake Corridor Commuter Rail Project is an 8-mile southern branch extension of the South Shore Line to provide direct commuter rail service to the high-growth areas of central and southern Lake County, Indiana. The Project extends south from Hammond, Indiana, to Dyer, Indiana. The project’s purpose is to increase transportation options for central and southern Lake County residents traveling to downtown Chicago and surrounding areas, as well as to South Bend International Airport. The Project will further reduce travel time and costs, and promote economic development opportunities in Lake County.

Featured speakers is Gary Babcoke, chief mechanical officer for the Northern Indiana Commuter Transportation District.

All are invited to join the presentation, which will be hosted on Zoom.
