Federal transportation officials sign off on $6.88 billion to complete federal funding for Gateway project
The project will include a new tunnel with two new tracks across 2½ miles, carrying Amtrak and NJ Transit trains from Penn Station to Secaucus. Funding will also repair the 110-year-old tunnel beneath the Hudson that was damaged by Superstorm Sandy. Officials said it will also connect rail service from New Jersey to Moynihan Train Hall, where riders board the LIRR.
