The Gateway Development Commission (GDC) has opened Community Engagement Centers near the active Hudson Tunnel Project construction sites in New Jersey and New York.

GDC’s Community Engagement Centers are outreach hubs where members of the public can connect with GDC staff and learn about the Hudson Tunnel Project through interactive exhibits that explain what is being built, why it matters, and how the project will deliver more reliable train service for the region.

 

Both Community Engagement Centers contain family-friendly educational exhibits that include a video explaining the 10 distinct construction projects that make up the Hudson Tunnel Project, an interactive digital map where visitors can see the latest photos of GDC’s construction sites and learn about future projects, and a cross-sectional model of the new tunnel that visitors can step inside. The New Jersey Center also includes a model of the tunnel boring machine that will be used to build the section of the new tunnel under the Palisades cliffs. 

GDC staff are on site to answer visitors’ questions and share the latest information and resources. In addition, each Community Engagement Center includes a dedicated section explaining the construction projects in the community where it is located, as well as resources with detailed information about current and upcoming construction activities.

 

The New Jersey Community Engagement Center is located at 68-72 West 18th Street, Weehawken. It is open to the public from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Mondays and from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
