Northeast Corridor

Amtrak will begin a major rehabilitation of the nearly century-old Dock Bridge in New Jersey after awarding construction and project management contracts for the work.

The Gateway Development Commission Board of Commissioners has approved a change order to the Hudson River Ground Stabilization Project contract that will add the removal of roughly 500 submerged wooden piles, left from the demolition of Pier 68, to the project’s original scope of work.

A federal judge found Monday that the Trump administration’s decision to halt funding for the Gateway tunnel project ran afoul of the law and permanently barred it from freezing the grants again.

The Gateway Development Commission has awarded a nearly $1.3 billion contract for the section of the Hudson Tunnel Project that will bore the new rail tunnel tubes beneath the Hudson River, a major step in the multi-package effort to expand capacity and improve reliability on the Northeast Corridor.
