Every day, more than 200,000 people hurtle beneath the Hudson River, unaware they are traveling through a pair of crumbling tunnels built before the Titanic even set sail. These narrow, century-old tubes—linking New Jersey to New York City—serve as the fragile spine of America’s busiest rail corridor. But here’s the terrifying truth: if just one of them fails, the entire Northeast Corridor could grind to a halt, triggering billions in economic losses and paralyzing the daily lives of millions. How did America allow such a critical link in the nation’s infrastructure to age into decay? —and more importantly, what is being done about it? This is The $16 BILLION Hudson Tunnel Project, a development that promises to dig America out of this crisis.
