President Biden arrived in New York City Tuesday to formally announce a $292 million grant to help complete an early phase of the Hudson Tunnel project, part of the long-delayed Gateway Program.
Biden is being joined for a tour and announcement at the West Side Rail Yard by Governors Hochul and Murphy, NYC Mayor Eric Adams, Senators Schumer, Gillibrand, Booker, Menendez and others.
The long-delayed tunnel will improve reliability for the 200,000 weekday passengers on Amtrak and NJ Transit.

He will stop in Philadelphia later this week.
