What is the estimated overall cost of the freight tunnel? Does the project cost include just the tunnel?
Construction costs for the Rail Freight Tunnel alternative range between $4.8 billion for the Single Tunnel System to $7.4 billion for the Double Tunnel System. In addition to the costs of constructing a tunnel, these estimates include the cost to construct an expanded intermodal yard at West Maspeth, Queens, enhance capacity at other existing rail yards, improve rail clearances to accommodate modern rail equipment, and construct additional rail sidings and tracks in New Jersey, Brooklyn and Queens.
