Benefits
Daily, 17,400 vehicles pass through the crossing. This project will reduce roadway congestion and improve safety at this grade crossing. The grade crossing separation will eliminate delay to nearly 2,100 vehicles daily, resulting in alleviation of almost 16,000 annual motorist hours of delay. It will also eliminate the potential for collisions between vehicles and trains.
Scope of Work
The project will consider eliminating the at-grade crossing of 31st Street and the three Indiana Harbor Belt (IHB) tracks. This will be accomplished by creating either an overpass or underpass for vehicles at this location.
