The #Gateway Development Commission, the agency overseeing the construction, sued the #FederalGovernment this week over $205M in payments for work on the tunnel. But the halt to construction on Friday could leave roughly 1,000 #workers without #jobs.

“Work on the Gateway Tunnel is now halted, with federal funding still frozen,” Gov Kathy Hochul (D-NY) said Friday. “Thousands of jobs on the line. Billions in economic benefits at risk. All because Donald #Trump is on a #revenge tour.”

But withholding money from the tunnel over the names of #PennStation, the busiest train station in the country, would be a significant escalation of the effort to ensure #Trump’s “legacy”, tying it to a project that would have massive ripple effects across the East Coast.
The project, known as #Gateway, sits at the heart of the Northeast Corridor #rail route that runs from Boston to Washington & is the most-used passenger line in the #US.
