“Workers were winding down their construction activity on the biggest transportation infrastructure project in the nation as the Trump administration’s prolonged suspension of its funding threatened to bring work to a halt on Friday,” the New York Times reports.
“The project, known as Gateway, centers on a new $16 billion rail tunnel under the Hudson River between New York City and New Jersey. Nearly 1,000 people have been working at sites on both sides of the Hudson and in the river, and more than $1 billion has already been spent, according to the project’s planners, the Gateway Development Commission.”
“Nearly all of that work was scheduled to stop on Friday unless federal officials agreed to restore Gateway’s funding or a court ordered them to.”
