Does anyone expect the final cost to come in under $50B?

They’re obviously competing with Kerry and Kennedy in MA to see which state can throw the MOST tax dollars down a sinkhole. (The ‘Big Dig’ in MA is filled with billions of tax dollars!)
Yeesh!

North Bergen is up near the Lincoln Tunnel - Wouldn’t it be better to add lanes to the Holland Tunnel?

How precious!
Our tax money from all across ‘Red State’ AMerica is going to be spent on crowding more people into the Big Sh*tty, and expanding the Big Sh*tty into NJ.

Isn’t a tunnel between NY and NJ kind of like a sewer line between two septic tanks?

And there will be a $12-$15 toll to use the tunnel with all proceeds to be given to illegal immigrunts and mooselimbs....

It would be better if it was done by the Japanese, they know how to build tunnels.
This is too ripe for massive funds diversions.

It’s a two-track rail tunnel to double the access to the west end of Penn Station. That’s why it is in North Bergen where the current two track tunnel is.

Any guesses on the final cost? I’m going to say $500 billion.

Where can I get me one of those printing presses?
Oh, that’s right! The American People OWN those presses! Sadly, we cannot get Mother Government to stop using them. :(
