The governors of New York and New Jersey signed legislation Monday to move the Hudson Tunnel Project forward despite the lack of federal funding. In a joint statement, the governors predicted the crumbling infrastructure could fail. The legislation, which passed both state legislatures in June, creates the Gateway Development Commission, a bi-state agency that can receive federal funding for an estimated $30 billion in projects, including fixing the tunnel and building an additional train tunnel. Tens of thousands of daily train commuters go through the century-old tunnel under the Hudson River that was heavily damaged by Superstorm Sandy in 2012.
