We sat down with the chief engineer for the $16B Hudson rail tunnel

In the three years since construction began on the Gateway rail tunnel that will link North Jersey and Manhattan — the largest publicly funded civic works project in the country — I’ve gotten to know Hamed Nejad. Nejad, originally from Isfahan, Iran, is the chief engineer for the Gateway Development Commission, the bistate agency overseeing the $16 billion project to construct two new rail tubes beneath the Hudson River and repair the old ones currently in use that date back to 1910. Nejad has led press tours in recent years to show progress on the North Bergen construction site where crews built an overpass , prepped the entryway for the start of tunneling and assembled tunnel boring machines that began drilling in October 2026. During one of those visits, Nejad said something that stuck with me: “I’m a tunnel chaser.” Story continues below photo gallery Nejad has worked on tunnels in four continents. His path to the Gateway project began more than 15 years ago when Access to the Region’s Core — or ARC, Gateway’s predecessor project — was in motion and then suddenly canceled by former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. After that, he ended up working on East

Blue Devils Flip the Script and Finish on Top of Raiders in Sectional Semifinals

Going into the fifth round of penalty kicks, Westfield was leading 4-3. When the Scotch Plains-Fanwood player shot the ball, it was do-or-die; if he made it, the pressure would shift back to Westfield, but if he missed it, his season would end. Westfield junior goalkeeper Dominik Kotowicz waited for the shot and read it perfectly, falling on top of the ball. No goal. Westfield survives penalty kicks and secures a semifinal victory to advance to the state finals.

Plainfield Council Balks at Rushmore Pool Fees, Citing Affordability Fears

Plainfield City Hall Annex — Approximate Daily-Pass Prepayment Site. A proposal to start charging admission at Plainfield's year-old Rushmore Aquatic Complex collapsed this week when a city council motion to introduce the fee ordinance failed to get a second. The vote, or lack of one, means the pool — which drew roughly 2,800 users this year according to city officials — remains free to enter for now, even as the municipality faces warnings about rising costs elsewhere in its budget.
