Hudson River Tunnels
NEW YORK CITY—“The current Hudson River train tunnels are in dire condition, and it's only a matter of time before one or both tubes fail,” said New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy in a joint statement. “Building the new Hudson Tunnel Project is the single most important infrastructure project in our nation, but the Trump administration has abdicated its responsibility by failing to pay their fair share to replace this federally owned asset.”
The new legislation signed by both governors creates the Gateway Development Commission. The bi-state agency will facilitate the project and will be set up to receive federal funding for the estimated $30 billion Gateway plan, according to NorthJersey.com. The program includes repairing the Hudson River train tunnel, building an additional train tunnel and replacing the Portal Bridge.
