Northern Indiana Commuter Transportation District (NICTD) held a virtual groundbreaking ceremony for its West Lake Corridor Project, extending the South Shore Line commuter rail service 7.8 miles from Hammond (on the north) to Dyer (on the south).

Slated for completion in 2024, the extension will include four new stations—two in Hammond, one in Munster, and one at the border of Muster and Dyer (see map below). In July, NICTD awarded a nearly $555 million contract to F.H. Paschen and Ragnar Benson (both based in Chicago) to complete design work and lead construction.
