NORTH JERSEY, NJ – The colossal Gateway Rail Tunnel Project, one of the nation’s largest federally funded infrastructure initiatives, has hit a major milestone: the arrival of its primary excavation tools.
Disassembled sections of the first of two massive German-made Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs) are currently being shipped to the Garden State via ports in Elizabeth and Baltimore. The first components are expected to arrive in North Bergen later this month, where they will be meticulously reassembled for their underground journey.
