One of the first major transportation projects that I championed after coming to Congress, the 1300 foot 63rd Street Tunnel Connector consisted of ½ mile of new construction and 8 miles of rehabilitation work, and was completed in 2001. I worked with my colleagues in the New York delegation, particularly then-Congressman Thomas Manton who championed the project to President Clinton, to obtain federal funding for the project. As a result, the federal government contributed $306.1 million to the 63rd Street Tunnel Connector, which cost a total of $645 million.
