Schumer Confident About Hudson River Tunnel Project, Congestion Pricing arrow A view into the North River Tunnel between Penn Station and New Jersey. Edwin J. Torres / NJ Governor's Office The long-stalled Gateway Project, which at its core includes building a new train tunnel under the Hudson River between Penn Station and New Jersey, and rehabilitating the existing 110-year-old Sandy-damaged tunnel, is expected to move to the front of the infrastructure project line under the Biden administration, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer confidently declared on Monday. “I’ve got plenty of money,” Schumer said on a conference call with advocates and reporters. “I’ve called [incoming Transportation] Secretary Buttigeig, I’ve spoken to President Biden to release this money ASAP. If we’re not making progress I’m going to call on all of you to help.”
