The U.S. government is allocating billions of dollars to renovate one of America's oldest tunnels, still affected by the damage from Hurricane Sandy in 2012.
The U.S. government has allocated billions to revamp a century-old railway tunnel, and is constructing a new tunnel to service one of the most important rail routes on the East Coast.According to the statement on the Department of Transportation website, the Hudson Tunnel Project will 'construct a critical new rail tunnel between New York and New Jersey along a vital economic corridor.
national passenger railroad company which owns the North River Tunnel, said that the passage was 'inundated with millions of gallons of salt water,' leaving behind corrosive chemicals which have since degraded its concrete lining.According to the DOT, a new rail route between New York and New Jersey is necessary to mitigate a 'bottleneck' at the North River Tunnel.
