It's 5 miles of water between Staten Island and Manhattan. That's over 5x the width of the Hudson which we are expecting will need a 30 Billion dollar project to get under. Indeed it's 2x as long as the entire length of the tunnel including the parts in NJ and Manhattan.
I would seriously question if NYC even has the ability to build such a tunnel any more at ANY cost.
