(Michigan City, IN) - A grand opening is scheduled today for the South Shore commuter line’s double track between Michigan City and Gary.

 

A ribbon cutting will happen at the Miller station in Gary late this morning.

 

Governor Eric Holcomb will join local, state, and federal officials for the ceremony.

The project, costing over 600 million dollars, will reduce travel time from Michigan City to Chicago by about 30 minutes and is expected to generate a considerable increase in economic activity for communities like Michigan City.
