The long-delayed Gateway project is making yet another change to the multibillion dollar program for a new rail tunnel between New York and New Jersey in a bid to keep costs in check and speed up work.
Instead of one big contract to build a new tunnel under the Hudson River, there will be four separate projects for engineering and consultant firms to bid on, the Gateway Development Commission announced Tuesday.
