Tunnel Funding Doesn’t Have to Be Immediately Restored

“The federal government will not have to restore funding to the $16 billion Gateway rail tunnel project between New York City and New Jersey before 5 p.m. on Thursday, a federal judge in Manhattan ruled on Monday,” the New York Times reports.

“U.S. District Judge Jeannette Vargas had ordered the funding restored at the end of last week, after the states of New York and New Jersey sued the federal Department of Transportation for suspending the project’s funding four months ago.”
