Weeks Marine’s tug Robert was maneuvering barges at the Gateway Tunnel coffer dam site off Pier 66 on Monday. The project is reinforcing the riverbed at this spot so that the Gateway rail tunnel will be able to pass underneath.
Observations on the Hudson River as it passes through New York City. The section of the Hudson which passes through New York is historically known as the North River, called this by the Dutch to distinguish it from the Delaware River, which they knew as the South River. This stretch of the Hudson is still often referred to as the North River by local mariners today. All photos copyright Daniel Katzive unless otherwise attributed.
