US puts hold on $18 billion for New York's Hudson Tunnel, Second Ave Subway

The $17.2 billion Hudson River tunnel project -- which received more than $11 billion in federal grants -- is repairing an existing tunnel, and building a new one for passenger railroad Amtrak and state commuter lines between New Jersey and Manhattan.
