Work begins in NY/NJ on nation's largest mass transit project
http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/06/08/newyork.rail.tunnel/index.html
NEW YORK (CNN) -- The largest mass transit project in the country got under way Monday with the help of federal stimulus dollars, as public officials broke ground on a second passenger rail tunnel beneath the Hudson River.
The new tunnel will link New Jersey with New York and eventually will double capacity on the nation's busiest rail corridor, running from Washington to Boston, Massachusetts, officials said.
The project -- known as ARC, for Access to the Region's Core -- is expected to create 6,000 design and construction jobs.
