Loading ...Building a New, World-Class Midtown Bus Terminal
The Port Authority has introduced plans to build a new, world-class transportation hub (bus terminal) in Midtown Manhattan. This hub will replace the outdated 73-year-old structure, delivering commuters and residents of the Bistate region a state-of-the-art, reliable, and efficient connection among our communities.
The new facility will include a stunning 2.1-million-square-foot main bus terminal with a light-filled atrium entrance, a separate bus storage and staging building, and new ramps leading directly into and out of the Lincoln Tunnel.
The new terminal will add capacity and meet projected 2040-2050 commuter growth, provide a best-in-class customer experience that serves the region’s 21st-century public transportation needs, enhance the surrounding community, and be designed to be net zero emissions, serving all-electric buses and implement cutting-edge technology throughout.
At the end of construction, 3.5 acres of publicly accessible green space will be created on Port Authority property. In addition, the project is expected to create 6,000 union construction jobs.
Plenty of work is ahead, but we’re taking a significant step forward in delivering an iconic regional transportation hub on par with the complete transformation we’ve been offering at our three major airports.
