- 法院下令释放2.05亿美元用于哈德逊隧道项目
- 司法部立即释放3000万美元，剩余资金很快到位
- 参议员科里·布克誓言防止项目进一步中断
2月13日（路透社）- 在纽约州和新泽西州起诉质疑该决定后，特朗普政府周五释放了160亿美元哈德逊隧道项目中2.05亿美元冻结联邦资金中的3000万美元。
两个州在担心美国运输部不承诺释放资金后，寻求了紧急听证会。

美国上诉法院周四拒绝撤销要求释放资金的下级法院命令，该资金自10月以来一直被冻结，并迫使该项目于上周停止建设。

Gateway发展委员会表示，他们已收到最初的3000万美元”并期望收到全部2.05亿美元的偿还资金。目前建设仍处于暂停状态，我们正在与承包商合作，计划如何以最有效的方式部署这些资金，并让工人尽快重返工作岗位以恢复部分建设。”
法官让娜特·巴尔加斯上周下令联邦政府释放用于修复纽约和新泽西州关键铁路基础设施的资金，这些资金自10月1日起被共和党总统唐纳德·特朗普冻结。
在听证会上，司法部表示他们正在努力在未来几天释放剩余的2.05亿美元。巴尔加斯命令政府在周二提交一份关于资金状况的报告。
新泽西州美国参议员科里·布克称这一宣布是好消息，但他表示将继续”斗争，直到特朗普政府保证不会再中断这项重要基础设施的建设。”
上周因资金冻结而停止的建设使1000名工人失业。
消息人士称，特朗普上月提出解冻资金，以换取民主党人支持将华盛顿杜勒斯机场和纽约宾夕法尼亚车站以他的名字命名。民主党人强烈批评这一建议。
哈德逊隧道项目旨在建造一条连接曼哈顿和新泽西州的新通勤铁路隧道，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列火车使用。巴尔加斯在纽约州和新泽西州表示因缺乏资金将停止建设数小时后作出了裁决。
现有的哈德逊隧道在2012年桑迪飓风中严重受损，需要频繁的紧急维修，这扰乱了美国使用最频繁的客运铁路线的通行。
该项目在时任民主党总统乔·拜登任内获得了约150亿美元的联邦支持。目前已花费近20亿美元。

- Summary
- Court orders release of $205 million for Hudson Tunnel Project
- Justice Department to release $30 million immediately, remainder soon
- Senator Cory Booker vows to prevent further project interruptions
Feb 13 (Reuters) – The Trump administration on Friday released $30 million of $205 million in frozen federal funding for the $16 billion Hudson Tunnel Project in New York after New York and New Jersey sued to challenge the decision.
The two states had sought an emergency hearing after raising concerns the U.S. Department of Transportation was not committing to release the funds.

A U.S. appeals court on Thursday declined to undo a lower court order requiring the funding, which had been frozen in October and forced the project to halt construction last week.

The Gateway Development Commission said it received the initial $30 million “and expect to receive the full $205 million in reimbursement funds. Construction remains paused for now, and we are working with our contractors to plan how to deploy these funds in the most effective way and get workers back on the job to resume some construction as soon as possible.”
Judge Jeannette Vargas last week ordered the federal government to release funds for the project to overhaul critical rail infrastructure in New York and New Jersey, which had been frozen by Republican President Donald Trump since October 1.
At a hearing, Justice Department said they were working to release the remainder of the $205 million in the coming days. Vargas ordered the government to file a report on Tuesday on the status of the funding.
U.S. Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey called the announcement good news but said he would fight “until the Trump administration guarantees no more interruptions to building this vital infrastructure.”
The halt to construction triggered last week by the funding freeze put 1,000 workers out of work.
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 suggestion.
The Hudson Tunnel Project aims to build a new commuter rail tunnel connecting 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.
The project was allocated about $15 billion in federal support under then-President Joe Biden, a Democrat. Nearly $2 billion has been spent so far.
