The Biden administration has picked nine high-profile surface transportation projects to share nearly $1.2 billion in Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act grants, topped by a $292-million award for an early-phase element of a mammoth planned New York-New Jersey Hudson River tunnel, which is estimated to cost $16 billion.
President Joe Biden traveled to New York City on Jan. 31 for the formal announcement of the funding for the Hudson Tunnel and eight other projects that will receive funds under the U.S. Dept. of Transportation’s “Mega” program.
