Gateway Program News
@GatewayProgNews
The Gateway Program is the most urgent infrastructure program in America and includes the Hudson Tunnel and Portal North Bridge Projects.
Construction of the Hudson Tunnel Project is supporting thousands of jobs and billions in economic activity. We talked with workers building the new tunnel about what the project means to them, their families, and their communities. Watch the full video at gatewayprogram.org/video-gallery.…

🚂WEEK-END UPDATE: Palisades Tunnel Project🚧 You’ve got to go up to go down at the Palisades Tunnel Project site. The team built a massive ramp to install secant piles that will stabilize the sides of the launch point for the boring machines that will dig this section of…
Delays like this show why we need more than two tracks connecting NY and NJ. The Hudson Tunnel Project is building a new tunnel to ensure reliable, on-time rail service.
Due to a disabled train in one of the Hudson River Tunnels, NJ TRANSIT rail service is subject to up to 60-minute delays into and out of Penn Station New York.
We're proud to see our CEO, Tom Prendergast, on the @CityAndStateNY Trailblazers in Transportation list. The Hudson Tunnel Project will transform travel into, out of, and through New York, setting the stage for the city and the region to thrive. cityandstateny.com/power-lists/20…
🚉WEEK-END UPDATE: Tonnelle Avenue🚂 This week, the Tonnelle Ave team implemented the final traffic switch, moving traffic into the newly-built middle section of the bridge. This marks the beginning of the final phase of work on this project!
Thousands of workers are hard at work building the Hudson Tunnel Project on both sides of the Hudson River, and in it. @SamiLiebman gives you an inside look at the work in progress for @NY1. ny1.com/nyc/all-boroug…
One year since GDC secured full funding for the HTP and five of our construction packages are underway, on schedule and on budget. @gregmocker’s latest for @PIX11News shows the progress our crews are making on the ground — and under it — at all five sites. pix11.com/news/see-crews…
One year ago today, we signed the Full Funding Grant Agreement for the Hudson Tunnel Project. Today we have five projects under construction supporting 20,000+ jobs. We’ve got a long way to go, but we’re off to a strong start!
🔨WEEK-END UPDATE: HYCC-3 🚂 Excavation continues at the HYCC-3 construction site in Manhattan. The trench that will hold the tunnel box is now 60 feet deep, at the deepest point. The teams have removed more than 50,000 tons of soil and 1.7 million gallons of water.
GDC’s NJ Co-Chair, Balpreet Grewal-Virk, was featured in @CapitalAnalytic’s Spotlight On series talking about the Hudson Tunnel Project. Read the full interview here: capitalanalyticsassociates.com/spotlight-on-b…
Tom Wright and Carlo Scissura are right: New York doesn't work without reliable train service. Their great op-ed in @CrainsNewYork highlights why we must keep the Hudson Tunnel Project on track. Read the op-ed here: crainsnewyork.com/op-ed/keep-gat…
Cofferdams date back to the Roman Empire, but are still used for construction today. We’re using one in the Hudson River to enable work stabilizing a section of the riverbed for tunnel boring. Read our new blog post to learn more: mailchi.mp/gatewayprogram…
We are pleased to welcome Victor Herlinsky, Jr. to the GDC Board of Commissioners. Read statements from our CEO and Commission Co-Chairs here: gatewayprogram.org/wp-content/upl…
Now that summer is here, we're preparing for in-water work on the Hudson River Ground Stabilization project to resume, shifting the temporary cofferdam in the Hudson River east toward Manhattan. Work to stabilize the riverbed for tunnel boring will continue inside the cofferdam.
Delays like these happen when critical infrastructure assets are over 100 years old. But riders need to reliably get where they need to go all year round. The Hudson Tunnel Project will deliver modern transportation on the Northeast Corridor that meets the needs of a 21st…
NEC train #3926, the 7:33 AM departure from Trenton, is cancelled due to weather-related equipment issues. Please take train #3830, the 7:46 AM departure from Trenton.
Thousands of men and women work on building the Hudson Tunnel Project every day. For many, this is more than a job. It’s an opportunity to build a legacy. Watch our new video to hear what the Hudson Tunnel Project means to the people building it: youtube.com/watch?v=YDTEcm…
All delays are bad, but delays during rush hour are especially problematic since so many commuters rely on trains to get to and from work. The HTP will provide reliable rail transit that gets workers where they need to go and support economic growth across the region.
Due to an Amtrak signal issue in one of the Hudson River tunnels, NJ TRANSIT rail service is subject to up to 30-minute delays into and out of Penn Station New York.
Since the North River Tunnel only has two tubes, any small problem causes delays for riders going in both directions. This is why we need to build two new tubes and rehab the existing tunnel to ensure reliable service, even when one tube has to close.
Due to Amtrak signal issues in one of the Hudson River Tunnels, NJ TRANSIT rail service into and out of Penn Station New York continues to be subject to up to 20-minute delays
🚧WEEK-END UPDATE: Manhattan Tunnel Project🏙️ Manhattan Tunnel Project construction kicked off with the demolition of existing structures on the construction site. This is an important first step to make space for the work involved with building this section of the tunnel.
