Officials promise to work together on Hudson River tunnels

The hourlong meeting, held at Sen.

The massive NJ Transit delays in late July have gotten the attention of the Obama Administration. “We need to get all parties together and the federal government”. Now we are looking at a much different timeline: the earliest the two-tunnel Gateway Project could be completed is 2025.

The statement also said the four – Christie, Booker, Sen.

The Diocese of Camden is using the 40-day lead-up to Pope Francis’ visit to Philadelphia to raise awareness of poverty throughout southern New Jersey.

Environmental and design research for the Hudson tunnels, in the event that they started this fall, would take roughly 4 years to finish, Gardner stated. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo expressed little interest in funding it from New York’s side, recently saying “It’s not my tunnel”.

Christie has said he would support a new tunnel project if part of the cost was borne by the state of New York or New York City, neither of which pledged funds for the previous one.

Practice delays like those brought on just lately by electrical issues in a century-old Hudson River tunnel might turn out to be rather more widespread if a brand new tunnel is not constructed, an Amtrak government informed New Jersey lawmakers Monday. Christie, 52, a second-term Republican running for president, said as he walked from Booker’s office to his own in an adjacent building.

There are several key differences between those projects and the tunnel, Cuomo notes.

On Thursday, The Associated Press asked a Cuomo spokeswoman about Tuesday’s meeting and was told the governor’s stance had not changed. The difficulties in arranging a meeting highlight the political challenges facing the project, which experts say is vital to New York City’s transportation system and Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor.
