“It’s all systems go, there’s no turning back,” said U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer , calling the Gateway project the “most consequential infrastructure project in all of America.”The new link is expected to be completed by 2035 with the rehab of the existing tunnel would be completed over the following three years, officials say.The west side rail hub can only fit up to 24 trains per hour running under the Hudson River as it is currently configured.
Officials argue that reliability issues with the current tunnel alone make the Gateway Project essential even in a post-pandemic world where work-from-home means that commuter railroads and the subways have only brought back 70-80 percent of their weekday ridership. However, advocates have demanded the railroads come up with a plan that squeezes more capacity out of the existing station complex.
