Editing Highland, Lake County, Indiana (section)

== Transportation ==
The commercial airport closest to Highland is the [[Gary/Chicago International Airport]] in Gary, but most Highland residents and visitors travel from Chicago's [[O'Hare International Airport]] or [[Chicago Midway International Airport]].

Highland lies just south of the [[Interstate 94 in Indiana|Borman Expressway]]. [[U.S. Route 41 in Indiana|US 41]], known locally as Indianapolis Boulevard, is a major north–south artery in the town. Due to Highland's proximity to Chicago, several other Interstate and U.S. highways are within a {{convert|20|mi|km|adj=on}} radius.

The town's pedestrians and cyclists are served by the [[Erie Lackawanna Trail]], a cycling/multiuse, paved [[rail trail]], which cuts diagonally through Highland, connecting the town with [[Griffith, Indiana|Griffith]], and [[Crown Point, Indiana|Crown Point]], to the southeast. The Highland portion of the trail is also known locally as the Crosstown Trail. The trail runs along the former right-of-way of the [[Erie-Lackawanna]] and [[Baltimore and Ohio Railroad|Baltimore and Ohio]] railroads, and will eventually connect pedestrians to [[Chicago, Illinois]], to the northwest and beyond Crown Point to the southeast by planned trail extensions. The trail also links Highland, by connections with other trails, with [[Porter County, Indiana|Porter County]] to the east.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.indianatrails.org/Erie_Trail.htm|title=Erie Lackawanna Trail<!-- Bot generated title -->|website=Indianatrails.org|access-date=October 5, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070509033025/http://www.indianatrails.org/Erie_Trail.htm|archive-date=May 9, 2007|url-status=dead}}</ref>
