Various alternatives considered various ways to run service to Penn Station from the New Haven Line, the Hudson Line, and the Harlem Line, either during all times, or only operating during off-peak hours and weekends.

The alternatives via the Harlem Line would have required the construction of wye tracks. One option would have branched off of the Harlem Line at Mott Haven, using a wye track to go north via the Hudson Line. Using a newly constructed wye track at Spuyten Duyvil, service would turn south via the Empire Connection before reaching Penn Station. Another option considered would have constructed a wye track at <a href="/wiki/Woodlawn_Heights,_Bronx" title="Woodlawn Heights, Bronx">Woodlawn</a>, allowing Harlem trains to go east and head down the Hell Gate Line to Penn Station. The final option would have required the reconstruction of the <a href="/wiki/Spuyten_Duyvil_and_Port_Morris_Railroad" title="Spuyten Duyvil and Port Morris Railroad">Port Morris Branch</a> and the Hell Gate Line.

The connection only leads to tracks 1–8 at Penn, which are used primarily by NJ Transit, with some usage by Amtrak. Since the implementation of Penn Station Access via the Hudson Line would have required substantial service reductions to those Penn Station tracks by NJ Transit and Amtrak or a new connection between the Empire Line and the LIRR tracks at Penn, progress did not continue on this alternative.

The entire budget for the project went up from $1.561 billion to $2.482 billion. The cost increase was due to bids that were received, increases in the price of construction materials and labor, additional scope required by Amtrak, including expanded power and communication upgrades and a fourth track, and limitations on labor support committed by Amtrak and track outages. Funding for the budget increase would be made using the $500 million in Amtrak funding, and the reallocation of funding from other projects in the Capital Program.<sup id="cite_ref-42" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-42"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>42<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Beginning_of_construction">Beginning of construction</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Penn_Station_Access&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Beginning of construction"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>A groundbreaking ceremony for Penn Station Access took place in the Bronx on December 9, 2022,<sup id="cite_ref-NBC_New_York_2022_43-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-NBC_New_York_2022-43"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>43<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Kramer_2022_44-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Kramer_2022-44"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>44<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> marking the official start of construction.<sup id="cite_ref-45" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-45"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>45<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Although the project was initially supposed to be completed by March 2027,<sup id="cite_ref-Bloomberg_202301_46-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Bloomberg_202301-46"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>46<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> MTA officials indicated in January 2023 that the first phase of Penn Station Access could be postponed by six to nine months.<sup id="cite_ref-Castillo_202301_47-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Castillo_202301-47"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>47<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Brachfeld_202301_48-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Brachfeld_202301-48"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>48<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> According to <a href="/wiki/MTA_Construction_and_Development" class="mw-redirect" title="MTA Construction and Development">MTA Construction and Development</a> president Jamie Torres-Springer, the Hell Gate Line had to be partially closed to allow work on Penn Station Access to proceed, but Amtrak had refused to approve a plan that would have closed the line at night and during the weekend.
