Trump vows to block Gateway tunnel funding over cost concerns

President Trump reiterates opposition to the Hudson River Gateway rail tunnel between New York and New Jersey and threatens to withhold federal funds over projected overruns; a federal judge had allowed funds to flow again after a freeze, with New Jersey and New York lawmakers pushing to restore support and noting thousands of jobs and commuter benefits (about 1,000 layoffs occurred when work paused). He also denied reports that funding was tied to renaming Penn Station.

Court Order Sparks Restart of Gateway Tunnel Funding

Federal funding for the $16 billion Gateway rail tunnel between NYC and New Jersey, paused for months during a contract review, resumed after Judge Jeannette Vargas ordered the suspension ended; an initial $30 million arrived and the remainder (about $205 million total) is expected soon, allowing construction to resume and about 1,000 laid-off workers to potentially be rehired.

Judge Orders Gateway Funds Release, Paving Way for Hudson River Rail Tunnel

A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to unfreeze billions in federal funds for the Gateway rail-tunnel project, ruling that delaying a critical infrastructure project would harm the public interest. The decision comes as construction paused after funding was withheld and about 1,000 jobs were at stake, with New York and New Jersey officials praising the ruling. The court gave both sides until Feb. 11 to address several legal issues, as the project, a key link under the Hudson River between New Jersey and New York, faces continuing political contention from past statements suggesting it was terminated.
