Christie Endorses Tunnel Four Years After Killing Project

Four years after killing a $12.4 billion tunnel that would have doubled commuter capacity to Manhattan, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has endorsed another stab at rail expansion as part of a plan to remake the Port Authority.
If Christie hadn’t stopped the Access to the Region’s Core project that began in 2009, mass-transit relief would have come as soon as 2018. Now he supports an approach, with new oversight by the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey, that has no dedicated funding and would take at least 10 years.
