Freeze Frame
President Joe Biden was on the West Side yesterday to discuss the Hudson River Tunnel Project. Even with the $292m commitment from the Infrastructure Bill, NY Times reporter Patrick McGeehan does not hold out that much hope for the project after the visit.
“There’s still the big question of will this ever happen. President Biden says it will, and Senator Schumer says it will, but we have been down this road before. The last attempt to build a tunnel under the Hudson ended when Chris Christie pulled the plug on it, and that project was further along than this one is. It had already lined up its federal funding, and the crews had actually started digging,” McGeehan said this morning.
