Next stop: tunnel boring!

We've finished manufacturing the first set of tunnel boring machines for the Hudson Tunnel Project. The machines are shipping to New Jersey now, and tunnel boring will start next year.

Unreliable train service wastes time and drains productivity, hurting workers, businesses, and our economy. GDC is fixing this by building a new train tunnel under the Hudson River and rehabilitating the existing 116-year-old tunnel. The result: modern service riders can count on.

GDC was honored to receive the Building The Future award from the New York Building Congress last night. The Hudson Tunnel Project will support reliable, modern train travel and economic growth for decades to come. We're proud to deliver this urgent investment in our city and the region's future.

This week the North River Tunnel enters its 116th year of service. It’s no surprise that a tunnel this old is a leading cause of train delays. The Hudson Tunnel Project is replacing this antiquated tunnel with modern infrastructure that gets riders where they need to go when they need to get there.

We're hard at work on both sides of the Hudson River - and in it. The Manhattan Tunnel Project team is installing marine temporary structures in the water just off Manhattan to enable ground stabilization beneath the bulkhead in preparation for tunnel boring.

GDC recently installed a temporary noise barrier around the Hudson County Shaft construction site. This video shows the process, from polling local residents to choose a design to completing the project, which included planting 36 trees and adding 9 new parking spots.

We’re making progress on the Hudson County Access Shaft in New Jersey. We've completed 14 of the 42 panels that will make up shaft's slurry wall.

Work on the Manhattan Tunnel Project is ongoing on both sides of the West Side Highway. The access shaft that will enable underground construction is taking shape, along with ground stabilization at the edge of the Hudson River.
