Yeah it's just two tracks, but progress nonetheless.
As far as funding: NJ raised its share to 600M in June 2019. Taking the numbers from the "full funding agreement", which came in January of this year and appears to have included even more money from NJ, adds up to 1.896M. even adding the 5% contingency to the 1.559M number, it doesn't get that high.
I think I know what's going on though. The contract is being awarded by NJT for the funds coming from NJT and the feds. That corresponds to 1.634M, which is 5% above the 1.559M number. The Amtrak funds are separate and will have to be awarded by Amtrak for whatever tie-in work is going to happen between the bridge and the corridor.
