outh Shore’s trains will soon resume running east from the Dune Park Station to Michigan City.

The Northern Indiana Commuter Transportation District (NICTD) recently announced that the two tracks should be completed from Dune Park Station to Michigan City by early autumn.

Commuters are currently riding buses provided by South Shore from Michigan City to the Gary Metro Station.

When the tracks reopen between Dune Park Station and Michigan City, the buses will be discontinued between the two stations.

However, South Shore Line commuters heading west towards Chicago will still have to take the bus from Dune Park Station to the Gary Metro Station.

It is likely that westbound commuters will be taking the bus from the Dune Park Station until the $649 million Double- Track Project is finished in the spring of 2024.

The Northern Indiana Commuter Transportation District (NICTD) says the Double Track Northwest Indiana Project is 98 percent complete. Work on the $649 million project began in 2021 and it’s expected to be completed this May.

When the Double Track Project is finished it will add 14 new trains every week, improved safety along the lines, more convenient and additional parking for riders, and a new second track between Gary and Michigan City.

A ribbon cutting ceremony is being planned for May in conjunction with the Governor’s office.
