After many years of negotiations, governors Kathy Hochul and Phil Murphy finalized the first phase of state funding to build new train tunnels beneath the Hudson River on Tuesday, signing an agreement to split costs 50-50 between New York and New Jersey.  The two states have committed $2.7 billion for the $14 billion first phase of the Gateway project via the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. The first big piece of work will involve the replacement of the Portal North Bridge between Secaucus and Kearny, N.
