As work progresses on existing contracts of the $16.1-billion Hudson Tunnel Project between New York City and northern New Jersey, outgoing Gateway Development Commission (GDC) CEO Kris Kolluri said during the commission’s Oct. 11 meeting that seven of the nine contract packages will either be under construction or in procurement by the end of the year.
“A significant amount of work is happening on site and in our finance department,” Kolluri said.
Work on the Tonnelle Avenue bridge, which will carry road traffic over the New Jersey side approach to the rail tunnel, is about 48% complete, according to Hamed Nejad, GDC acting chief technical officer. He also told commissioners that 65% of secant piles for the Hudson Yards concrete casing on the New York side are complete, crews have begun underpinning the High Line, and 17,000 tons of soil have been excavated to date.
In the river, Nejad said crews have been working on a test section of the riverbed for stabilization and are preparing to start deep soil mixing.
