The basics:
  • Hudson Yards Concrete Casing project now over 50% complete
  • Project remains on time and on budget, finishing in 2026
  • Total HTP to support 95,000 jobs, generate $19.6B in output
NJBIZ has reported extensively on the HTP, described as the nation’s most critical infrastructure project. The effort includes building a new rail tunnel under the Hudson River – and then repairing the existing 115-year-old tunnel, which also suffered significant damage during Superstorm Sandy, to increase capacity and reliability on the key travel artery.
50% done 50% to go! On time and on budget! Kudos to American engineering!

This is probably the stage that will require the most energy, time and expertise. If they get through this in time, then everything will go smoothly in my opinion.

Images | New York-New Jersey Hudson Tunnel railway TBMs nearly assembled
Illustrative renderings of the tunnel boring machines that will be used on the Hudson Tunnel Project. Image: Gateway Development Commission Manufacturing of the tunnel boring machines (TBM) that will excavate the New Jersey section of the Hudson Tunnel rail project is nearing completion, programme coordinator Gateway Development Commission (GDC) confirmed.
The first machine is 85% complete and the second 73%.
Both are expected to finish factory assembly by November before shipment to New Jersey, US, for reassembly. Each TBM measures 28-ft 8-in (7.8m) in diameter and extends 500 ft (15.2m) in length with gantries. Weighing 1,680 tons, the machines are equipped with more than 1,000 sensors to monitor underground positioning, wear on components, air quality, and other safety metrics.
