The Hudson-Bergen Light Rail currently has an extension that is currently under construction. The extension will extend the currently short Lincoln Harbor Shuttle, up along the Hudson River north to a new Port Imperial station, the line will then curve east and enter the Weehawken Tunnel under Union City with a new Bergenline Avenue Station in the middle. This station will be located in the middle of the tunnel at 160 feet below the surface. There are to be three high speed elevators and stairway access, which is required for emergencies. There is also a fan system to take care of any smoke problem. It might allow for the eventual operation of diesel MUs...although I think this will never happen. After leaving the tunnel in North Bergen the last stop will be Tonnelle Avenue.
