Cline Avenue Bridge LLC, which is owned and operated by United Bridge Partners, said recently it has committed $3 million to the Indiana Department of Transportation for improvements to Indiana State Road 912.

“This is truly a beneficial partnership since it allows us to provide a reliable and consistent traveling experience before, during, and after crossing the Cline Avenue Bridge,” said Terry Velligan, general manager of operations at Cline Avenue Bridge. “The advantage of completing this work with private funds is that the state can allocate its time and resources to infrastructure in greatest need of attention.”

Also known as Cline Avenue, the route extends east and west of their bridge’s property. Work is underway and encompasses roughly two-and-a-half miles of INDOT roadway.

From the Cline Avenue Bridge’s west abutment, SR 912 will be restored east of Calumet Avenue in Hammond. From the bridge’s east abutment, improvements will reconnect the Cline Avenue Bridge to Ameristar, Joerse Park, and Pastrick Marina and include the nearby SR 912 roadway in East Chicago.

The resurfacing project will create a smooth driving surface with clear lane markings. The work is expected to be completed by the end of November.

Restoration of the Cline Avenue Bridge will reconnect SR 912 to I-90.

United Bridge Partners is a private infrastructure company, which finances, designs, builds, owns, and operates private toll bridges across the country. UBP is funded by a $1 billion capital commitment from the New American Bridges Fund, an affiliate of American Infrastructure Funds, and uses no local, state, or federal financing for private bridge projects.
