A major infrastructure project is set to kick off with the start of excavation for a new tunnel between New York and New Jersey. The Gateway Tunnel, part of a broader effort to modernize rail links between the two states, will involve digging a new two-bore tunnel beneath the Hudson River. Construction is expected to address long-standing capacity constraints on the existing rail network, aiming to support increased passenger and freight traffic. The project marks a critical step in improving regional transit connectivity and economic ties.
