President Joe Biden is visiting New York City Tuesday with plans to discuss investments by the administration in the Gateway rail tunnel project under the Hudson River.

A White House spokesperson confirmed last week that the president plans to visit the Big Apple on Jan. 31, noting the commander-in-chief will “discuss how Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funding for the Hudson River Tunnel project will improve reliability for the 200,000 passenger trips per weekday on Amtrak and New Jersey Transit.”

The president is expected to tour the West Side Yard at about 12:10 p.m. Tuesday. Both Mayor Eric Adams and Governor Kathy Hochul are expected to join him.

Kris Kolluri, CEO of the Gateway Development Commission (GDC), which oversees the project, sang the president’s praises and expressed excitement for the visit last week.

“There is no bigger advocate for our project and for transformative infrastructure projects than President Biden,” said Kolluri in a statement. “We are thrilled to welcome him to see how the Gateway Hudson Tunnel will improve the lives of hundreds of thousands of passengers every day.”
