Construction Begins on Port Authority Bus Terminal Overhaul

Construction has begun on a $10 billion overhaul of New York City's Port Authority Bus Terminal, replacing the 74-year-old, outdated facility. The project was launched with a groundbreaking ceremony attended by New York Governor Kathy Hochul, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy, and Port Authority officials. The first phase includes decking over Dyer Avenue for bus staging and nearly four acres of future public green space. The 2.1 million-square-foot terminal will feature new retail, an atrium, direct Lincoln Tunnel ramps, and expanded capacity from 600 to 1,000 buses per hour. Supported by federal funding and local agreements, the project aims for completion in 2032 while maintaining transit operations. Officials highlighted the importance of community input and the terminal's significance as a gateway for hundreds of thousands of daily commuters.
