President Joe Biden is poised to formally announce a nearly $300 million grant Tuesday to help complete an early phase of the Hudson Tunnel project, part of the long-delayed Gateway Program.
Biden will tout the $292 million “mega” grant, created by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law he signed in 2021, during a visit to New York City.
According to the White House, the money will go toward completing the final section of concrete casing near Hudson Yards, protecting the right-of-way for the future tracks connecting Penn Station to the river’s edge
A spokesman for the Gateway program said the aim is to begin construction this year on the new section, noting the grant expedites the process of lining up the necessary funding to proceed. It is one piece of the massive Gateway project, which is expected to receive several billion dollars under the infrastructure law.
