Critical funding for the $16 billion Gateway tunnel project, the largest infrastructure project in U.S. history, was made official. CBS New York's Jessica Moore reports.
Largest infrastructure project in US history! LOL. Building two tunnels a few miles long! Not the interstate system. Not something like Hoover dam. Two tunnels under the Hudson river! It's the largest ever and we got almost 7 billion dollars to do it! And of course the total cost will almost surely end up being at least 1.5 times that amount.
It is still extremely important. The current Hudson tunnels have operated for a century without significant maintenance and must be overhauled if the NE corridor is to keep operating. Failing this would be disastrous for the NY, NJ and national economies. This project will allow for maintenance overhauls on both sets of tunnels to occur and for extra passenger and freight services (which I'm sure commuters and truckers on the Washington bridge and in the Lincoln tunnel can relate to).
Did y’all know that it took 7 Years to Build the Original North River Tunnels now it will take 12 - 14 Years To Build the New Tunnels & Rehabilitate the Old tunnels. But then the DOT decides to Expand the Holland Tunnel instead take that money to fund the Gateway Project.
Because Democrats bribing their unions army to Vote for Democrats! Sopranos version 3.0. 😂That's why it's so expensive that a Brit they hired to fix our Subways just quit unable to deal with Democratic Unions. That's how New York remaining Democrats only and Unions elected Hochul and Adams get to stay and do not do much every day for years redistributing the Budget to friends and Family!
$1 billion dollars for the tunnel and $5 billion dollars stuffed in crooks pockets

$6.8 billion with union labor means under budget and delays.
It means $12 billion and a never ending project.
@@user-vx7vi3vq1c No - budget is already 16 billion so it will end up at 40.

Ronald Reagan was an asshole
That’s going to get Democrats votes !
I bet they are exhausted from all the work!

Well, get to digging already🤦♂️
God bless USA. 💐
Is this for cars, trains, or both? And why is it so damn expensive? You can walk the width of the Hudson from NY to NJ in 5 minutes!!
It's trains.
It's NY/ NJ and the government in action. That's why it's so expensive.

So how many tunnels in total? 3?
And how is this going to reduce climate change. The process of making and working with concrete creates huge amounts of greenhouse gases!
Don’t talk about it be about it start doing
