Hudson Tunnel Project achieves another major construction milestone
The Gateway Development Commission (GDC) announced this week that the Hudson Yards Concrete Casing – Section 3 (HYCC-3) Project is more than 50 percent complete and is on track to be finished in 2026. The project reached this significant milestone on schedule and on budget.
According to the GDC, the Hudson Tunnel Project (HTP) is the nation’s most urgent mass transit infrastructure project, which will provide reliable, 21st Century train service into, out of, and through New York, and end the immediate threat posed by the 115-year-old tunnel between New Jersey and New York.
The HYCC-3 Project is building the final link that will enable the new tunnel to connect to New York Penn Station. The other two sections of the concrete casing were completed in 2018. This section is approximately 500 feet long, 60 feet wide, and 60 feet deep. Its structure will consist of heavily reinforced concrete ranging from 3.5 to 10 feet thick with a waterproof membrane covering its perimeter.
Construction of the HYCC-3 Project is supporting 4,820 jobs and $986 million in economic output. In total, construction of the HTP is projected to support 95,000 jobs and drive $19.6 billion in economic activity.
