President Joe Biden will travel to New York City next Tuesday to show support for the Gateway tunnel project, under which two new tubes are to be added to the century-old pair already in place, the White House said today.

• Full funding for the project has yet to be identified, and it was not clear from press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre’s remarks today whether the president would make any news on that front.
• The visit is to be preceded by a Monday trip to Baltimore, where Biden will appear in support of the plan to replace the 150-year-old Baltimore and Potomac tunnel complex, also on Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor.
• Under Gateway, construction of the two new tunnels under the Hudson River would allow the original tubes to be taken offline for wholesale restoration.
• The expanded Gateway project also includes N.J.-based components, including a fully funded replacement of the Portal Bridge that’s currently underway in Secaucus.
