"Major Construction Milestones Achieved for Hudson River Rail Tunnel and Baltimore Tunnel Projects"
TL;DR Summary
Construction is set to restart on a two-track rail tunnel under the Hudson River, ending the reliance on century-old tunnels. The $16.1 billion Gateway project, the largest public works project in the US, will begin with the construction of a highway bridge next month. The tunnel's developer, the Gateway Development Commission, has awarded the first contracts for construction work on the New Jersey side, with the actual digging of the tunnel expected to start in 2025 and open 10 years later. The project aims to alleviate strain on the existing tunnels, which were flooded during Hurricane Sandy in 2012.
