Project Overview
The Gateway Program represents a critical infrastructure initiative aimed at enhancing rail services for commuters and intercity travel, while also adding necessary resilience and, in later phases, expanding capacity between Newark, New Jersey, and New York City, the busiest segment of the Northeast Corridor (NEC). The NEC, stretching from Boston, Massachusetts, to Washington, D.C., is the nation's most heavily trafficked rail corridor, supporting a region that contributes 20% of the Gross National Product. The 10-mile section of the NEC involved in the Gateway Program accommodates over 200,000 daily passenger trips on approximately 450 trains under normal conditions, serving as a vital transportation artery.
The initial phase of the Gateway Program encompasses the Hudson Tunnel Project, which entails constructing a new two-track tunnel beneath the Hudson River linking to Penn Station New York, alongside the comprehensive rehabilitation of the existing North River Tunnel, which has been in operation for over a century. This project aims to enhance operational flexibility, provide redundancy in the rail network, and bolster resilience against future disruptions to the Hudson River rail crossing. Environmental reviews for this project have been completed.
The Gateway Development Commission is committed to being an Equal Opportunity Employer and implements all personnel practices without discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, disability, protected veteran status, military status, or any other category protected by applicable law. We value diverse teams and encourage individuals from all backgrounds to consider joining our team.
