The contractor will use a large tunnel rig to start digging the section under Manhattan\'s West End starting early next year and is expected to be completed by the end of 2013.
Bids for the Palisades Tunnel section are expected to be issued in a few weeks, followed by the Hudson section.
The public transport tunnel, the largest public transport project in the United States, is expected to double the commuter rail capacity between New Jersey and New York after its completion by the end of 2017.

Traffic officials in New Jersey say the reason the project could not connect to the existing Penn Station is because it is no longer possible to dig a huge trench in Manhattan for such a shallow connection, like the Penn Railroad did in 1910.
