2月8日(路透社)——据法院文件显示,美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的政府周日对一项要求美国交通部解冻160亿美元哈德逊隧道项目联邦资金的裁决提起了上诉。

美国联邦地区法官让娜特·巴尔加斯周五发布了初步禁令,要求联邦政府为纽约州和新泽西州的关键铁路基础设施大修项目释放资金。特朗普政府周日提交了上诉通知。

美国运输部去年9月表示,已冻结这笔资金,等待对该项目是否符合新的联邦禁令进行审查——该禁令禁止在合同决策中考虑种族和性别因素。

一位消息人士称,特朗普上月曾提出解冻资金,以换取民主党人支持将华盛顿杜勒斯机场和纽约宾州车站以他的名字命名。民主党人强烈批评了这一提议。

“门户项目”旨在在曼哈顿和新泽西州之间修建一条新的通勤铁路隧道,并修复一条百年老隧道,该隧道每天有超过20万名旅客和425列火车通行。巴尔加斯法官在纽约州和新泽西州表示因缺乏资金将停工数小时后作出了裁决。

现有哈德逊隧道在2012年桑迪飓风中严重受损,需要频繁紧急维修,导致美国最繁忙的客运铁路线运行中断。

“我们感谢纽约州和新泽西州的合作伙伴采取行动,帮助我们获得哈德逊隧道项目的联邦资金,”“门户”发展委员会在巴尔加斯发布裁决后的周五声明中表示,“资金一旦到位,我们将迅速恢复现场作业,让我们的工人重返岗位。”

前总统乔·拜登政府为该项目分配了约150亿美元联邦支持,目前已花费近20亿美元。

Feb 8 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration on Sunday appealed against a decision requiring the Transportation Department to unfreeze federal funding for the $16 billion Hudson Tunnel Project in New York, according to a court filing.

U.S. District Judge Jeannette Vargas on Friday issued a preliminary injunction that requires the federal government to release funds for a project to overhaul critical rail infrastructure in New York and New Jersey. The Trump administration filed a notice of appeal on Sunday.

The Transportation Department said in September that it froze the funding pending a review of the project’s compliance with new federal prohibitions against race- and sex-based considerations in contracting decisions.

Trump offered last month to unfreeze the funds, a source said, in return for support from Democrats to rename Washington Dulles Airport and New York’s Penn Station after him. Democrats strongly criticized the offer.

The Gateway Project is intended to build a new commuter rail tunnel between Manhattan and New Jersey and repair a century-old tunnel used by more than 200,000 travelers and 425 trains daily. Vargas handed down her ruling hours after New York and New Jersey said construction would halt for lack of funding.

The existing Hudson Tunnel, heavily damaged by Hurricane Sandy in 2012, needs frequent emergency repairs that disrupt travel on the nation’s most heavily used passenger rail line.

“We thank our partners in New York and New Jersey for taking action to help us access the federal funding for the Hudson Tunnel Project,” the Gateway Development Commission said in a statement on Friday after Vargas issued her ruling. “As soon as funds are released, we will work quickly to restart site operations and get our workers back on the job.”

The project was allocated about $15 billion in federal support under former President Joe Biden. Nearly $2 billion has been spent so far.
