Overview

  • The Port Authority has broken ground on decking nearly four acres of Dyer Avenue to create a temporary bus staging area that will transform into public green space once the project is complete.
  • The $10 billion effort will roll out in phases, with a temporary terminal and new Lincoln Tunnel ramps due in 2028 and the full main terminal slated for 2032.
  • Plans call for a 2.1 million-square-foot facility featuring street-facing retail, a multi-story indoor atrium, a central entrance and new public open areas.
  • Direct bus ramps to and from the Lincoln Tunnel aim to reduce surface-street congestion and streamline New Jersey-to-Manhattan service.
  • The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey is underwriting the rebuild with its capital budget alongside future commercial development revenues.
