New York and New Jersey sued the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) on Feb. 3 to reinstitute funding for the ongoing Hudson Tunnel Project after federal funds were cut off last fall.
The Hudson Tunnel Project involves building a new tunnel and railroad infrastructure for passenger rail trains under the Hudson River, while rehabilitation efforts take place on the existing tunnel. The new tunnel will carry Amtrak and New Jersey Transit Northeast Corridor passenger trains between New Jersey and New York.
