华盛顿8月28日路透电 — 特朗普政府周五就一项法院命令提起上诉,该命令要求其为这项160亿美元的哈德逊隧道项目拨付资金。此前,该政府阻止这条纽约-新泽西通勤铁路连接线拨款的最新尝试失败。

该项目旨在修建一条连接曼哈顿和新泽西州的新通勤铁路隧道,并修复一条已有百年历史的隧道,这条隧道每日服务超过20万名旅客和425列火车。

这笔拨款争端是特朗普政府与国会民主党人之间围绕该国最大型基础设施项目之一的最新冲突。特朗普此前表示反对这条隧道,该项目在前总统乔·拜登任内获得了约150亿美元的联邦支持。

美国交通部于10月1日突然停止为该项目发放拨款资金,此前唐纳德·特朗普总统将部分政府停摆归咎于国会民主党人。一名美国法官于2月下令恢复拨款。

特朗普在10月表示,他已终止该项目,理由是该项目得到了纽约州联邦参议员查克·舒默的支持,以及对潜在成本超支的担忧。

交通部周五未立即置评,该部门此前曾表示,暂停拨款是为了确保遵守禁止在拨款中不当使用多元化、公平性和包容性政策的规定。

这条隧道在2012年飓风桑迪中严重受损,需要频繁进行应急维修,这打乱了美国最繁忙的客运铁路线路的运营。

该项目的建设在2月短暂暂停,但在特朗普政府拨付了自10月起扣留的2.35亿美元拨款后恢复施工。

负责监管纽约和新泽西州该项目的Gateway发展委员会已另案向美国索赔法院起诉交通部,以确保资金不会被冻结。

路透社此前报道,特朗普在1月提出解冻资金,以换取民主党人支持将华盛顿杜勒斯机场和纽约宾州车站以他的名字重新命名。民主党人批评了这一提议。

截至目前,该项目已花费约20亿美元的联邦拨款。

WASHINGTON, Aug 28 (Reuters) – The Trump administration on Friday appealed a court order requiring it to make ​payments for the $16 billion Hudson Tunnel project after losing its latest ‌bid to halt funding for the New York – New Jersey rail link.

The project aims to build a new commuter rail tunnel connecting Manhattan and New Jersey and repair a century-old tunnel ​used by more than 200,000 travelers and 425 trains daily.

The funding dispute ​is the latest clash between the Trump administration and congressional Democrats ⁠over one of the nation’s largest infrastructure projects. Trump has said he opposes ​the tunnel, which received about $15 billion in federal support under former President Joe Biden.

The ​U.S. Transportation Department on October 1 abruptly stopped releasing grant funds for the project in the wake of a partial government shutdown President Donald Trump blamed on congressional Democrats. A U.S. judge ​ordered the payments to resume in February.

Trump said in October he had terminated ​the project, citing its backing by U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat, and concerns about ‌potential ⁠cost overruns.

The department, which did not immediately comment on Friday, said earlier the freeze was to ensure compliance with rules barring improper use of diversity, equity and inclusion policies in funding.

The tunnel, heavily damaged by Hurricane Sandy in 2012, needs frequent emergency repairs ​that disrupt travel ​on the nation’s ⁠most widely used passenger rail line.

Construction was briefly halted in February but resumed after the Trump administration released $235 million in funding it had ​withheld since October.

The Gateway Development Commission, which oversees the project ​for New ⁠York and New Jersey, has separately sued the Transportation Department in the U.S. Court of Claims to ensure the funds are not frozen.

Trump offered in January to unfreeze the funds ⁠in return ​for support from Democrats to rename Washington Dulles ​Airport and New York’s Penn Station after him, opens new tab, Reuters reported. Democrats criticized the suggestion.

Around $2 billion of the project’s ​federal funding has been spent so far.
