America's most urgent infrastructure project: Preserving and expanding the busiest section of the Northeast Corridor.
About us
The Gateway Program is the most urgent infrastructure program in the country – a comprehensive rail investment program that will improve commuter and intercity services, add needed resiliency and create new capacity for the busiest section of the Northeast Corridor (NEC). The NEC is the most heavily used passenger rail line in the country hosting more than 2,200 train movements and 800,000 passenger trips daily. The Gateway Development Commission (GDC) is a single-purpose bi-State agency with Board members representing Amtrak and the States of New York and New Jersey. GDC is the project sponsor for the Hudson Tunnel Project.

Big things are happening in the Hudson River. Our floating crane is ready to begin construction on the temporary cofferdam that will enable in-river work to stabilize the riverbed for tunnel boring. Learn more about the Hudson River Ground Stabilization Project here: https://lnkd.in/gGZTDBzf

We’re hard at work on both sides of the Hudson – and in it! The Hudson River Ground Stabilization Project is preparing the riverbed for tunnel boring under the river. Phase 1 of the project started in July, and the GDC Board just approved Phase 2 to begin later this year. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/edE7uFX3

Today our Board took two important actions to move the Hudson Tunnel Project forward. First, the Commissioners approved the contract to dig the portion of the HTP that will pass under the Palisades. This is the first tunnel boring contract for the HTP. In addition, the Board authorized the start of Phase 2 of the Hudson River Ground Stabilization project, the first heavy construction project of the HTP.

If you’ve walked the High Line this summer, then you’ve probably seen a massive construction project underway on Manhattan’s west side. This is New York’s first construction site for the Hudson Tunnel Project: a critical right-of-way preservation project known as the Hudson Yards Concrete Casing – Section 3 (HYCC-3). Once GDC and our partners at Amtrak have finished work on HYCC-3, the new rail tunnel will have its vital link to connect into New York Penn Station (NYP). Work on HYCC-3 launched in November 2023. In this EarthCam timelapse video, you can already see the new tunnel’s alignment taking shape. To learn more about the Hudson Tunnel Project and HYCC-3, click here: https://bit.ly/3A7Ro52

In just two years, Gateway Development Commission CEO Kris Kolluri transformed plans on paper into active construction on the largest, most urgent infrastructure project in America. Today, the Hudson Tunnel Project is fully funded with the largest-ever federal commitment to mass transit project. Critical early work is well underway on both sides of the Hudson River. And GDC is ready to meet the next big challenge as we gear up for major tunnel boring activity to begin. https://lnkd.in/gmKZp4nb

Gateway Development Commission (GDC) reposted this
The Acoustic Corer’s role in the Hudson River Ground Stabilization (HRGS) Project is crucial. This project, awarded to Weeks Marine, Inc., is the first heavy construction contract by the Gateway Development Commission (GDC) on the Hudson Tunnel Project (HTP). The HRGS Project aims to stabilize the riverbed in 1,200 feet of the shallow area on the Manhattan side of the Hudson River to ensure the Tunnel Boring Machine can excavate the new tunnel while protecting the riverbed from disruption. This is a significant step for Kraken Robotics towards the successful completion of this project. More on this project - https://bit.ly/3OmXPp4
