Credit: Gateway Development CommissionConstruction of a crucial rail tunnel between New York and New Jersey will stop next week unless federal funding is restored. The Gateway Development Commission announced on Tuesday that funding for the Hudson Tunnel Project will run out on February 6. GDC CEO Thomas Prendergast described the construction pause as a “last resort” and said the agency would keep working to secure additional funding. “Since federal funding was paused in October, we have done everything in our power to keep construction moving forward as planned, but we cannot fund this work on credit indefinitely,” Prendergast said. Earlier this month, Schumer met with Trump to request that Gateway funding be restored, but Trump refused, claiming on social media that Schumer was actually holding up the project: “Remember, everybody, it is Chuck Schumer, the under siege Senator from NY, who is holding up the Gateway Project!” Trump wrote, according to the Times.
