New York Tunnel Extension, 1912. The right-of-way was originally developed by the Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR) [22] in conjunction with the 1910 opening of New York's Pennsylvania Station, which required the construction of the Portal Bridge over the Hackensack River, as well as the North River Tunnels under the Hudson Palisades and Hudson River.
After unsuccessfully trying to create a bridge over the Hudson River, the PRR and the LIRR developed several proposals for improved regional rail access in 1892, as part of the New York Tunnel Extension project. The proposals included new tunnels between Jersey City and Manhattan, and possibly one to Brooklyn; a new terminal in Midtown ...
The work includes injecting a mix of soil, concrete and water to stabilize the soft Hudson riverbed that will help ensure a tunnel boring machine can excavate the new tunnel while protecting the ...

The $16.1 billion Gateway project will add two new rail tunnels between NJ and Manhattan, reducing NJ Transit and Amtrak delays in a major corridor
In December 1901, the plans were modified so that the PRR would construct the North River Tunnels under the Hudson River, instead of a bridge over it. [13] The PRR cited costs and land value as a reason for constructing a tunnel rather than a bridge, since the cost of a tunnel would be one-third that of a bridge.
