The money will allow project planners to start looking for companies to build a new tunnel under the Hudson River, parallel to the aging ones currently in use. "Gateway is the most consequential infrastructure project in all of America," Schumer said."If the tunnels that cross the Hudson collapse or are unusable, our whole economy goes into turmoil."

New York's senior senator said work on the project will create 72,000 jobs and at least $19 billion in economic activity.
