MILWAUKEE, WI (WTAQ-WRN) — Construction has begun on the Amtrak station near Mitchell International Airport.
The Milwaukee Airport Rail Station, or MARS Project, is an improvement at the existing station located on the western edge of the airport property.
It will add a west-side platform and pedestrian overpass connecting the existing station to the new platform.
It’s one of the few Amtrak stations adjacent to an airport and is a station stop for Amtrak’s Hiawatha Service, which offers seven round trips per day between Chicago Union Station and the downtown Milwaukee Intermodal Station.
Construction is scheduled to be complete by June 2025.
