trenton, n.j. — New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie pulled the plug on a decades-in-the-making train tunnel connecting his state andManhattan, saying Thursday that the state can’t afford to pay for cost overruns on the already under-construction project. More than a half-billion dollars
has been spent on the tunnel, and construction began last year. The
country’s largest federal trans- portation project, it was expected to double peak train traffic in and out of New York once completed in 2018. NJ Transit and Amtrak share a
century-old, two-track tunnel be- neath theHudson River. The new tunnel would add two more tracks, more than doubling the number of NJ Transit trains that could pass under the river. But the cost for the project has about doubled over the years.
It started at $5 billion in 2005
and grew to $8.7 billion by 2008. Recently, Federal Transit Admin- istrator Peter Rogoff made public statements that put the price tag between $9 billion and $10 bil- lion. On Thursday, Christie (R) said his advisers put the costs at $11 billion to $14 billion. “The bottom line is this, New
Jersey has gone for too long and for too many decades ordering things that they can’t pay for,” Christie said at a news confer-

ence. “This project has some flaws to it, but in the end, this is a financial decision. When weigh- ing all the interests, I simply cannot put the taxpayers of the State of New Jersey on what would be a never-ending hook.” New Jersey had committed
$2.7 billion to the tunnel. The federal government and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey each pledged $3 billion. A month ago, the governor ordered a 30-day halt to all work
on the tunnel over concerns that it would go over budget. Transportation Secretary Ray
LaHood plans to meet Friday with Christie to “discuss a path forward” on the tunnel project, LaHood spokeswoman Olivia Alair said in an e-mail. Proponents of the project as-
sailed the governor’s decision as shortsighted and wrong-headed. During his gubernatorial cam-
paign last year, Christie support- ed the project.

the work stoppage, lawmakers and transportation officials sug- gested that Christie had planned to scrap the project and to use the state’s share to pay for the nearly broke Transportation Trust Fund, which pays for local road projects and rail repairs. Christie has refused to raise
the state’s gas tax, which isamong the lowest in the country, to re- plenish the fund.
