AKA THE Tunnel, it's already being engineered and the project is nearing the midpoint on total funding. It's good news for commuters for the somewhat far future, adding needed rail lines. Here's a couple of links as well...

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey will provide another $1 billion to build a tunnel to carry trains under the Hudson River, bringing its total contribution to the $7.5-billion project to $3 billion. The authority had committed $2 billion to the tunnel, which is scheduled to be completed by 2017. New Jersey Transit says the tunnel will almost double the number of trains that can travel into Manhattan at rush hour, easing congestion as more commuters switch to mass transit amid rising gas prices and more crowded highways, and reducing travel time into the biggest city in the United States.
