Trump New York tunnel funding freeze cost project millions of dollars, manager says
The federal funding pause for the $16 billion Hudson Tunnel Project in New York has lasted months and led to financial losses for the project, according to the project manager. The delays have forced the project to resume only partially, with funds still restricted.
The project manager said the freeze has cost millions in delays, inflation of costs, and planning setbacks, affecting timelines and contractor work. Despite some resumed activities, the funding holdup continues to constrain progress on the tunnel project.
Officials caution that the impact may extend beyond financial losses, potentially affecting safety preparations and long-term schedule as federal support remains uncertain.
