"Construction Commences for Gateway Tunnel Project, Governor Murphy Attends Groundbreaking"

Construction has finally begun on the $16 billion Gateway rail tunnel project under the Hudson River, with ground broken on the New Jersey side. The project, which includes building two new tunnels and rehabilitating existing ones, aims to improve connectivity and relieve congestion in the busy region. The U.S. Department of Transportation will fund the construction of an overpass and related work through an infrastructure grant. The project, initially canceled in 2010, has been revived with bipartisan support and is close to securing federal funding.
