The Gateway Commission sued the Trump admin over withheld $205M for the Hudson tunnel, risking delays and safety.

The Gateway Development Commission warned that construction on the $16 billion Hudson River tunnel project might soon come to an end and filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration for withholding $205 million in federal funds. Without the funding, the project—which is essential for replacing a 1910 tunnel that was damaged in 2012 and serves 200,000 daily commuters—faces delays, job losses, and safety risks. The commission calls the action politically motivated and asserts that the Transportation Department violated contracts without a valid reason. Leaders in New York and New Jersey urged the president to lift the freeze, but the administration has previously canceled the project due to political disagreements and opposes other Democratic transit initiatives.
