The $17.2 billion Hudson Tunnel Project will repair an existing tunnel and build a new one for passenger railroad Amtrak and state commuter lines between New Jersey and Manhattan.
WASHINGTON -The Biden administration advanced a key $6.88 billion grant to help build a long-delayed new railway tunnel between New York City and New Jersey, which would be the largest ever federal transportation grant for a single project.
The announcement officially begins the engineering phase of the project and allows the Gateway Development Commission to begin utility relocations, real estate acquisitions, demolition, procurement of equipment and materials, and further design. New Jersey Democratic Senators Cory Booker said the announcement "puts this project on track to receive the substantial federal investments and will enhance "the lives of millions of commuters."
