The Trump administration has released another $77 million in frozen federal funding for the $16 billion Hudson Tunnel Project, New York Governor Kathy Hochul said on Tuesday, as a political battle over the critical infrastructure continued.

New York and New Jersey sued after the U.S. Department of Transportation withheld $205 million in funding for the project since October 1. The funding freeze triggered a halt to construction that put 1,000 workers out of work.

USDOT released $30 million on Friday, bringing the total released to $107 million. A spokesperson for USDOT said the agency is following the court order. The Gateway Development Commission, which is overseeing the project, said on Tuesday that construction remained paused and it was working to “get workers back on the job to resume some construction as soon as possible.”
