Northeast Corridor

A “Notice to Proceed” has been issued for the new Portal North Bridge project.

The proposed $5.8 trillion fiscal 2023 federal budget includes $100 million for a new tunnel between New Jersey and New York City and more than $330 million for a new bridge over the Hackensack River.

The $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill Congress passed includes much of the federal funding needed to pay for upgrades to the busy Northeast Corridor, including the Portal North Bridge and Hudson Tunnel projects, officials say.
