Gottheimer Statement on Potential Shutdown of Gateway Train Tunnel

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, February 3, 2026, U.S. Congressman Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5) released the following statement:

“The Gateway Train Tunnel is the most consequential infrastructure project right now in our country. I’ll do everything I can to work constructively with Republicans and the White House to solve this stalemate and get the Gateway Project moving. We also need to preserve all our options, including a legal strategy.

We cannot let partisan politics get in the way of years of planning, bipartisan commitment, and construction progress. The stakes are too high, and the consequences to our economy, to commuters, and to businesses are too severe.”
