NY-NJ Gateway Commission Sues Federal Government Over Hudson Tunnel Funds
A federal court filing by the Gateway Progress Commission seeks to compel the U.S. Department of Transportation to release grant and loan funds for the hudson Tunnel Project, a major rail link under the Hudson River between New Jersey and New York City. The commission says USDOT has unlawfully suspended reimbursements and other disbursements as late September 2025, despite binding agreements securing roughly $15 billion in federal commitments for the project.
