Summary
Amtrak, LIRR, and NJ Transit trains face a one-month delay as Tube Two of the East River Tunnel gets a critical safety upgrade—concrete repairs and waterproofing needed after discovering structural flaws during final wiring installation. Originally set to reopen July 6, the tunnel now targets August reopening, followed by demolition of Tube One starting this fall, with full restoration expected by late 2027.
