Existing tunnels from 1911 damaged by Storm Sandy to be repaired by closing one tunnel at a time. Construction to begin on new tunnels. New tunnel completion due 2035.
From the link:
" Analysts from the Regional Plan Association — a non-profit regional planning firm — predict that trans-Hudson River travel demand is likely to meet or exceed pre-pandemic ridership levels, the Times reported."
An interesting prediction in the face of the continuing movement to work from home, although many companies are requiring showing up at least occasionally.
I suppose they would know best… other than recognizing they are probably counting on continued future planning fees from the government if they recommend spending the money. Am I too cynical?

These tunnels are part of the Northeast corridor line connecting washington dc with Boston. This is where Acela our fastest train runs.
New tunnels are needed.
