Gov. Christie cancels the ARC Tunnel for a second time.

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie killed a new train tunnel project under the Hudson River for a second time. "This decision is final," Christies said at a news conference Wednesday morning, adding that there is no opportunity for another review. Christie cancelled the project on October 7 for the first time, saying it would cost $2 billion to $5 billion over its $8.7 billion budget, but agreed to reconsider after Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood outlined various options to salvage it.

Gov. Christie first canceled the $8.7 billion tunnel first on October 7, citing potential cost overruns for which he said the state had no way to pay.

Two government officials close to the project confirmed Tuesday that the Republican governor had decided against those options.

A top New Jersey Democrat says he's combed through the hundreds of pages that led Governor Chris Christie to dump the A.R.C. train tunnel under the Hudson River and found no justification for it.

The LIRR will run just one-third the number of trains it usually does this week and large parts of the network will be out of service completely, to be replaced with subways or shuttle buses. The same disruptions will occur the following weekend.
