Doubtful. Related's first phase of the HY is right on top of where Gateway will hopefully eventually run, so a box tunnel was engineered and built, before Related built the canopy above it that the current skyscrapers sit on, you can see it here on Google Earth. It was engineered on the assumption Gateway would be built as tunnels.

If it became clear the Feds didn't want to fund this at all, even via loans, and the current tunnels could literally not wait any longer, than I'm sure it could happen, but the whole project on the NYC and NJ side would have to be re engineered. It would be a mess.
