THIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT!
This one-of-a-kind tour, led by IIPD Executive Director Erik Varela, takes you behind the scenes to one of the region’s busiest transportation hubs.
The IIPD is the owner and master landlord controlling two land areas in South Chicago: the Iroquois Landing Terminal, an open paved terminal with 3,000 linear feet of ship and barge berthing space located at the mouth of the Calumet River in the southwest corner of Lake Michigan; and Senator Dan Dougherty Harbor (Lake Calumet Terminal) which encompasses approximately 1,600 acres of land and currently is home to various harbor operations and terminals located at the junction of the Grand Calumet and Little Calumet Rivers, situated six miles inland from Lake Michigan. The IIPD’s harbor facilities are served by rail facilities and are adjacent to three interstate highways and feature an abundance of warehouse facilities.
We’ll meet outside UIC’s Urban Transportation Center (412 South Peoria Street). Bus service is provided.
Cancellations made on or after June 1st will be refunded at 50%.
