The Hudson River Ground Stabilization site had a dramatic background against the storm clouds this week. GDC is proud and thankful to have a dedicated team of construction workers who show up on site - rain or shine - to build the most urgent infrastructure project in America.

GDC NY Co-Chair Alicia Glen is the latest guest on the Citizens Budget Commission podcast. She shares her insights on everything from the critical need for this project to support New York's growth to navigating the process to secure full funding for the HTP.     Listen to the full interview here: https://lnkd.in/eXTpDyc  

With one project more than 50% complete and two more in progress, the new Hudson Tunnel is starting to take shape!     See the progress we’re making at our online photo gallery here: https://lnkd.in/eTchVzEH 

At our Board meeting today, we announced that we have passed the halfway mark on the Tonnelle Avenue Bridge and Utility Relocation Project. We achieved this milestone on schedule and on budget.     This important early work project will enable tunnel boring to begin in New Jersey and prepare the primary staging area for much of the remaining work on the Hudson Tunnel Project.    Learn more about our construction progress to date and next steps here: https://lnkd.in/e2kkbcTV

Soil mixing has started at the Hudson River Ground Stabilization Project site! This process will stabilize the riverbed to enable tunnel boring through the ground underneath the river. Learn all about this project in this report from NY1. https://lnkd.in/ek5yRD-G

We’re continuing to make progress on the Tonnelle Ave. Project. Today we finished the new foot bridge that will enable pedestrians to safely cross above our worksite.

We recently released the Request for Qualifications for the New Jersey Surface Alignment (NJSA) Project.   This project involves building approximately 1.5 miles of above ground trackway that will enable the existing NEC tracks in New Jersey to connect to the entrance to the new Hudson Tunnel.   Starting the procurement process for this project is an exciting milestone that reflects how far we’ve come in just one year of construction and keeps us moving full steam ahead.   Learn more about the NJSA Project here: https://lnkd.in/ejKdKJeS
