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.

Construction glow up!✨ Our timelapse shows major progress on the roadway bridge that will carry Tonnelle Avenue over the future Hudson River tunnel tracks. You can see where the new tracks will run under the highway and into the tunnel’s portal. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/eC3xMjiA

We’ve significantly stepped up construction of the HTP this summer. Keep reading for the latest updates on our active projects. In Manhattan, HYCC-3 will link the new tunnel into New York Penn Station. Ongoing work here includes secant guide wall and pile installation, jet grouting, and demolition to clear the path for the new tunnel. Since the GDC Board authorized starting Phase 2 of the Hudson River Ground Stabilization (HRGS) Project, large floating cranes in the Hudson River have started work on the test cofferdam for in-water work. Sheeting and pin pile installation are currently in progress. Across the river in New Jersey, the Tonnelle Ave. Project is building a new roadway bridge over the new tunnel’s portal. Early work to demolish the ARC Project’s remaining concrete abutments was recently completed, and concrete form work for the new bridge’s abutments is now underway. It's been an exciting summer of progress on the HTP, and we're continuing to move forward with these early construction projects heading into the fall.

Get a front row look at the Hudson Tunnel Project's floating construction barges! Before tunneling can begin, we first need to stabilize the riverbed. Here you can see construction on the test cofferdam that will ensure the site is ready for ground improvement, plus an acoustic corer collecting data on obstructions 50 feet below the riverbed.

Happy #LaborDay! The Gateway Development Commission is proud to work closely with our partners in organized labor. We’ve secured robust Project Labor Agreements with the unions working on the Hudson Tunnel Project to ensure fair wages, safe working conditions, and collective bargaining rights. On behalf of everyone who takes the train: thank you to all the union members working on the HTP!

Today at our Board meeting we announced our new EarthCam at the HYCC-3 site in Manhattan. The HYCC-3 Project will connect the new Hudson River tunnel to New York Penn. Starting today, a new panoramic photo of the site will be posted every day, and a library of past photos will be available, too. The GDC Board also authorized the Commission to enter into a final grant agreement for the $3.9 billion Federal-State Partnership (FSP) Grant for the Hudson Tunnel Project. When this grant was awarded last year, it pushed the federal funding commitment to the HTP to 70% of project costs, saving New York and New Jersey billions.

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
