President Joe Biden is visiting New York City Tuesday with plans to discuss investments by the administration in the Gateway rail tunnel project under the Hudson River.
A White House spokesperson confirmed last week that the president plans to visit the Big Apple on Jan. 31, noting the commander-in-chief will “discuss how Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funding for the Hudson River Tunnel project will improve reliability for the 200,000 passenger trips per weekday on Amtrak and New Jersey Transit.”
Kris Kolluri, CEO of the Gateway Development Commission , which oversees the project, sang the president’s praises and expressed excitement for the visit last week. Construction is finally set to commence this year on the new underwater rail tunnels between New York and New Jersey, more than a decade after the existing 113-year-old tubes, carrying Amtrak and New Jersey Transit trains under the Hudson River, sustained heavy damage during Hurricane Sandy. The new tunnels would also enable substantially increased service capacity on Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor, the nation’s busiest passenger rail line.
