At Long Last, a New Rail Tunnel Under the Hudson River Can Be Built
The New York Times
After four years of stalling by the Trump administration, officials in Washington approved the $11.6 billion project for federal funding.
For five years, the plan to build a second pair of rail tunnels between New York City and New Jersey has been deemed one of the most critical infrastructure projects in the country. But it needed a green light from federal officials. On Friday, after years of delays during the Trump administration, that approval officially arrived from the new administration in Washington. Now, the $11.6 billion needed for the tunnel project could come from the giant infrastructure bill that Republican and Democratic lawmakers are wrangling over on Capitol Hill.More Related News
