Digging Starts On New $16 Billion Train Tunnel Project Under Hudson River

Elected officials in helmets and yellow jackets gathered in New Jersey on Monday for the ceremonial launch of a massive boring machine that in days will begin drilling through the solid rock of the Palisades Cliffs in New Jersey, the initial phase of the Hudson Tunnel Project from New Jersey to New York Penn Station.

The new tunnel is just one part of a massive infrastructure project designed to ease the congestion of trains traveling in and out of New York City.

The existing tunnel was built in 1910.

The project will add two tunnels under the Hudson River for Amtrak and NJ Transit trains, which transport hundreds of thousands of commuters daily between New York and New Jersey. Its estimated cost is $16 billion, and completion is projected for 2035.

Under President Joe Biden, the Department of Transportation authorized $11 billion in grants and financing for the Hudson Tunnel portion of the project.

In October 2025, White House Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought announced it was freezing federal funding for the project over "unconstitutional DEI principles."

But, as Nicholas Zifcak reports for The Epoch Times, New York and New Jersey sued the federal government, which was forced to reinstate funding on June 29 after U.S. District Judge Jeannette Vargas ruled Vought's move unlawful. The federal government initially appealed, but on Sept. 17 the Department of Transportation dropped the appeal.

"Did they try to stop us in two thousand different ways? Did they try to put a log in our path, whether it was from Washington, New York, New Jersey, did we say ... we are building this tunnel?" said Sen. Chuck Schumer, speaking in North Bergen, New Jersey, at the drilling launch.

The Hudson Tunnel Project is part of the Northeast corridor modernization being implemented by the bi-state Gateway Development Commission. It is just one of 10 projects intended to upgrade the rail lines from Newark, New Jersey, to New York Penn Station.

The Vargas ruling allowed the Hudson Tunnel Project to move to the next phase: Two boring machines will begin drilling through one mile of hard rock under the Palisades Cliffs in New Jersey. The first phase is expected to be completed within one year, then the next phase of drilling under the river will begin.

A main part of the Hudson Tunnel Project is revamping the North River Tunnel.

The existing two-track North River Tunnel serving Amtrak and NJ Transit is one of the main reasons for delays in and out of Penn Station for hundreds of thousands of daily passengers.

The North River Tunnel will be updated so that once complete there will be four rail lines in and out of Penn Station.

Another Tanker Struck & Damaged By Iran In Strait Of Hormuz

Update(1233ET): On Friday there are reports of another foreign tanker which has been struck and damaged in the Strait of Hormuz. Several similar drone attacks have occurred this week, and over the last few days - however unlike with prior attacks these latest are not being heavily featured in the media, and have also made surprising little impact on oil prices.

The US has deployed two additional Patriot missile batteries to Saudi Arabia and Qatar to protect energy infrastructure from aerial threats, according to a new report, reinforcing the urgent need to defend allied energy infrastructure ahead of potential renewed strikes on Iran. The report came before Thursday's news that the Department of War is sending a third aircraft carrier strike group and additional Marine Corps ships to the region.

Axios reported late Thursday that one Patriot battery was sent last month to protect a key Saudi oil facility, while another was deployed to defend a natural gas plant in Qatar.

"The U.S. military transferred batteries and interceptors to the Middle East from other regional commands, raising concerns about readiness in other parts of the world," the report said.

Trump told reporters yesterday that he was considering renewing a bombing campaign in the coming weeks. "Now I have to make a decision: either Iran signs the deal, or it won't exist any longer," he warned.

The urgent need for two more Patriot batteries in the region, designed to intercept aircraft, cruise missiles, certain ballistic missiles, and one-way attack drones, comes as Iran and proxy forces have hit critical energy infrastructure in Saudi Arabia and Qatar.

The latest attack on Saudi infrastructure came last month, when Iranian proxies hit the critical East-West pipeline, rendering it inoperable for weeks. Flows were restored only last week. Meanwhile, the latest Goldman data shows Hormuz crude flows have returned to pre-war levels as Tehran's grip on the critical maritime chokepoint erodes.

Also overnight, a report said the DoW is preparing to send a third aircraft carrier strike group and additional Marine Corps ships to the Middle East, adding 9,000 to 10,000 more troops to the region. That news sent Brent crude futures to nearly $104 a barrel overnight, but the oil benchmark slipped below $100 as trading moved through Asia and Europe and into the early US session.
