New York has won a court order preventing work on the Hudson River’s Gateway tunnel project from shutting down, state Attorney General Letitia James announced late Friday evening. Work on the project connecting New York and New Jersey had largely come to a halt just hours earlier amid a standoff with the White House. James and New Jersey Acting Attorney General Jennifer Davenport had sued the Trump administration on Feb. 3 seeking to prevent work on the project from stopping due to the lengthy federal freeze on funds for it. “This is a critical victory for workers and commuters in New York and New Jersey,” James said in a statement. “I am grateful the court acted quickly to block this senseless funding freeze, which threatened to derail a project our entire region depends on.”
