Construction Commences on NYC's Gateway Tunnel Project in Hudson River
TL;DR Summary
Construction of the long-delayed rail tunnel under the Hudson River, known as the Gateway project, is set to speed up with an additional $3.8 billion in federal funding. The project's early phase involves building a concrete casing on Manhattan's West Side and realigning a highway on the New Jersey side. The tunnel is expected to open in 2035, relieving pressure on the existing 110-year-old tunnels. The federal government has provided over $11 billion, with New York and New Jersey splitting the remaining balance.
