DiGeronimo PC Project Experience:
Trans Hudson Express (‘THE’ Tunnel) Tunnel, Newark, New Jersey
New Jersey Transit and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey have approved a study for the $8 billion Trans-Hudson Express Tunnel (THE Tunnel), which will double commuter rail capacity between New York and New Jersey.  The project includes a state-of-the-art, two-track tunnel under the Hudson River and a new rail terminal under 34th Street adjacent to the current Penn Station.  The program also includes new track capacity on the Northeast Corridor and a connection to rail lines serving residents of Rockland, Orange, Bergen, Passaic, and several other counties, providing a one-seat ride and more trains to and from Manhattan.
DiGeronimo PC is producing the design visualization for the project, including 3-D animations.
