A rail project in Muskego, Wis., is now up for public debate. The Wisconsin Department of Transportation is seeking public comment on the Muskego Yard Freight Rail Bypass project, which will upgrade rail operations through the Canadian Pacific Railway railroad corridor in Milwaukee. The project also will help with Amtrak Hiawatha service expansion in the future.
The $54.6 million project involves constructing a new double-track mainline to increase yard capacity and efficiency. Signals, existing tracks and bridges also will be improved.
