Governor has announced the extension of the Milwaukee District West Line, which will now reach Rockford with stops in Huntley and Belvidere. The hope is for train service to begin in 2027, bringing greater connectivity and economic growth to the region. The project involves upgrading bridges, improving grade crossings, and building double-track service into the Metra system. From construction and engineering jobs to reduced pollution and traffic congestion, this new Rockford Intercity Passenger Rail service will have positive impacts that will strengthen northern Illinois for years to come.
