Gateway Tunnel Work Restarts After Court-Ordered Release of Federal Funds

Federal litigation continues with roughly $15 billion in support still outstanding.

Overview

  • GDC scheduled construction to resume Wednesday after crews cleared blizzard snow at New York and New Jersey sites.
  • U.S. District Judge Jeannette Vargas ordered the release of about $235 million in reimbursements that had been withheld since October.
  • Approximately 1,000 laborers who were laid off on Feb. 6 are returning to their jobs as contractors remobilize.
  • Near-term tasks include preparing the launch box, assembling the first tunnel boring machine in North Bergen, and readying delivery of the second.
  • Two major contract procurements remain paused pending full access to federal funds as the administration defends the freeze in ongoing cases.
